Connecting Orbi to iAquaLink pool system
I am unable to connect my iAquaLink system to the Orbi network. I get as far as selecting the network and putting in my password. It just drops the network. I understand that the iAquaLink can only wo...

You just need to type in ip link set down dev ath1
Sorry, it's after midnight here and I need to wake up early tomorrow. Please try those things and let's continue discussion tomorrow.
Good night :)
I did the command but nothing changed.
I was wathcing someone's directions on how to seperate the SSID and he said you have to type config commit after so I tried that, then I typed reboot
when it came back online there's still 5g running per the attached devices so i'm not sure what that command did but it didn't turn off the 5g radio
I found this script to enter I changed it to 30,000 which is 8 hours, ( I disconnedted the sattelite first) and so when I went to connect the iaqualink....the Main orbi doesn't reach there so I am powering on the sattelite again and will try to telnet to it, last time I tried it didn't work, but maybe it's because I did not activate the telnet on the correct ip....anyways will continue to try
seconds=300; x=0; while [ $x -lt $seconds ]; do ip link set down dev $(config get wl5g_NORMAL_AP); x=$(( x + 1 )); echo "down $x"; sleep 1; done OK with 30,000 seconds on the clock (LOL) I have the orbi and sattelite operating with 2.4Ghz only, the Iaqualink gave me trouble connecting initially (kept saying cannot connect to the iaquaink network) but finally it worked and it's connected to the satelite again, now to see if it kicks off over the next 8 hours (I'll be sleeping in 4 hours probably)
31:30 from when I started the timer it disconnected, considering it took me (maybe 1.5 min) to walk outside and re-connect the iaqualink to the orbi) does anyone know if there's some subroutine that occurs every 30 minutes that could be the source of the disconnect?
I googled orbi disconnects every 30 min and found another thread on here, the user made these changes which resolved their problem and it's been 45 minutes since I made the changes and it has not yet disconnected.................yet lol
