Cant conect Robomaster S1 to Orbi setup but works fine with Nighthawk R8000
I am trying to connect my new DJI Robomaster S1 to my Orbi RBR50 but it never connects, so I pulled out my old Nighthawk R8000 and set it up on the test bench, the Robomaster connects fine to one of the 5G channels.
Started again with a reboot to my router and tried again but still no luck getting a connection.
The difference I see between the 2 routers is the orbi has bonded chanels and the nighthawk are all different, but that normally only matters on 2.4G and I am connecting on 5G
I have 2 Satelites and 84 other devices connected, from wifi power points to Cameras and everything in between. This is the first device I can not get to connect.
Router RBR50 Firmware V2.3.5.30
Satalite 1 RBS50 Firmware V2.3.5.30 Wired Backhaul
Satalite 2 RBW30 Firmware V2.3.5.6 Wifi Backhaul
The robot is setup by selecting you wifi the entering th password in a box, hit next and a 3D barcode is generated is then shown to the robot wo the says connecting, but in my case it never does.

I Have updated the firmware to V2.5.1.8 still the same problem
Try disabling the 5G SSID broadcast on the RBR:
Be sure to forget the current wifi profile on your setup device, i.e. phone or pad. Then power OFF the wifi radio on the phone or pad, then re-enable it. Reconnect to Orbi's wifi SSID again and enter in the PW on the phone or pad. The phone or pad should now be connected to the 2.4Ghz radio only on the Orbi. Try the setup process for your device.
