I still don't see the logic to take away the option to disable 2.4GHz those who want both on can, those who don't have the option. In my environment speeds and range were fine using only 5GHz radio. I have absolutely no need for 2.4Ghz. Now even take away the ability to lower the radio power on top of taking away the option to disable? we all have different needs and environments one shoe does not fit all.

Can anyone help me!?!
My orbi system was previously auto updated to V1.12.0.20. Today it is now on this version and now I have the following issues.
The satellites are NOT showing up under "Attached Devices" as satellites...they do however, show up under connected devices. Logging into their respective status pages by way of their listed ip, I see that both of my satellites are updated to this latest version and the wireless AP are listed as OFF, 2.4ghz & 5ghz are listed as disabled.
My router is acting fine and the satellites are connected to it...how do I enable the wifi on the satellites so my devices can connect to them?
Please advise, this is driving me crazy! Thanks in advance.
- marshymallowJul 12, 2017ApprenticeIt happened to me initially after the FW update. Power off and On the Sat and wait awhile. The main router should set things right thereafter.

Marshymallow,
Did as you suggested and actually unplugged both my orbi setup still the same at the moment...how long did it take for things to sort itself out?
I am in router mode and have two satellites. FWIW

Actually all I did was Power Off then On the sat unit.
There will be white blinking light on the Sat for maybe a minute or so followed by contant blue.
I will then check router admin again and then i see the sat proper.
If it's unsuccessful for you, just do a router reset and setup the whole system again.

I updated my RBR50 router to 1.12.0.18 and my RBS50 satellite is no longer showing up as a satellite. It's connected (has the solid blue light) but does not show up on the router web page or the Orbi app on iPhone. I've tried factory reset, no luck. I've tried a hard reset (30-30-30), no luck. I've tried reconnecting through the router web page, no luck.
Does anyone know what to do to fix this? The only support topic I see is where a person had to return the satellite under warranty.

I'm hoping it's a technical glitch that's causing my posts to be moderated and rejected. So I'll try one more time.
DarrenM or ChristineT,After a month of this, I think the general consensus here is that we don't feel like we're being listened to and the response is totally inadequate, so who can we escalate this to?
