Need to limit 2.4 ghz broadcast to Radio 1: IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz–256QAM
HP says that their WiFi printers don't work on a tri-band mesh, They told me I have to set the 2.4 ghz to ONLY brodcast as: Radio 1: IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz–256QAM
How do you change just that setting?

Whoever told you this appears "uninformed". (perhaps well meaning, but.....) Orbi's 2.4G radio is indeed IEEE 802.11b/g/n.
Please comment on the specific HP printer model which you want to connect to the Orbi so we can look at the User Manual and help.
p.s. "uninformed" is a euphimism for "full of...."

HP Officejet 3830... the tech admitted he had no clue what he was talking about
- CrimpOnGuru - Experienced UserPage 86 of the user manual talks about using WiFi Protected Setup. My Orbi has WPS button on the back for this. Have you tried this method?
