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.
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.
The first Status page shows :

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.
You can check the settings in your satellite using telnet commands.
Please telnet to the satellite and do the following command to print the security settings in the satellite:
nvram show | grep sectype
All but 2 of the parameters should have the value 4, which means WPA2.
Thanks for providing this useful test. Works great on MY system. Alas, I fear it will only confirm the original problem. Something is "seriously wrong."
- The satellite Home Page shows the 2.4G security as WPA2-PSK[AES], but the 5G security as "None"
- A WiFi scanner shows the 2.4G security as WPA2-PSK[AES], but the 5G security as "None"
- Telnet shows the 2.4G security type as "4", but the 5G security type as ??? (what is the value for "None")
So, a simple correction would be to use telnet to set the offending sectype to 4 and comit the change?
