I am not so inclined. Re-read my previous posts, I have been and still am interested in only one thing, and that is getting the LaCrosse device working properly with the Orbi. I'm not interested in any involvement regarding software/firmware changes or fixes, and I am also not interested in the 'whys' or 'why nots'. As I stated, I have only one goal in mind and that is to get a device that is suppose to be compatible with the Orbi to work properly with the Orbi. It's that simple. Again, if you will read my previous post, you will see that LaCrosse has offered what should be a solution fo this issue. I'll know when I receive the decice.
Cheers.

.I hope this helps someone. We had the same problem linking security cameras to the Orbi. Ended up firing up an older router that allows 5g to be disabled. Switched the Orbi OFF. Gave the old wifi with only 2.4g the same password as the Orbi. Connected the cameras. Switched the old router off and reconnected the Orbi. All works fine.
