No Security 5G wifi in RBS40V when wired synced.
I connected the speaker to oribi router by wired connection.
Router Wifi setting sync to the speaker, looks good.
But I found only the 2.4G sync correctly.
5G SSID synced, but Security Type is None.
I tried some times, Speaker 5G security is always None.
My PC can get IP address after connected to this no security SSID, but no internet access.

- Seems that syncing of the RBS40V satellite to the router did not work.
I suggest to remove the satellite (switch off the satellite then from the web GUI >> attached devices, click on disconnect). Then do the satellite addition again.I tried several times, remove the speaker in Orbi router Web-GUI and then sync again. 2.4G wifi always good, but 5G wifi security is always None. Here are the version info:
- Hardware Version: RBS40V
- Firmware Version: V2.3.6.4_1.0.1

This seems very strange, must be something in the satellite's configuration. I suggest to factory reset the satellite (NOT the router) and then synch it again with the router..

I love that this forum enables me to learn things that I should know, but somehow never learned.
How exactly did you find that the 5G SSID has security type "None".
I check my phone wifi setting, found 2 well signal and same SSID I set in my router.
One is WPA2 security protected I set in router, another is No security.
Then I login to router Web GUI check the speaker IP address, and login into speaker Web GUI.

This has been more helpful for me than for you. I see exactly which screen you brought up. Sure enough, MY satellite says that both 2.4G and 5G have the same security. It does not seem possible that your satellite can have different security settings on the channels.
My only suggestion is to
- Power off the voice satellite
- Have the router "forget" ("delete", whatever the option is that pops up when you click on the Attached Devices screen for a satellite that is not connected)
- "factory reset" the satellite using the paperclip
- Perform another sync with the router.
ekhalilknows far more than I do about the internal workings of the Orbi product. "Maybe" there is some config parameter that could be changed using telnet. I would hope that a complete wipe of the config would do the trick.
