Orbi AC3000 WEP

Hello, I'm considering of purchasing Orbi (AC3000) Wireless to home. At home I have "legacy" home automation system which only can use 2.4Ghz WLAN and WEP Security. Is WEP security possible with Orbi WLAN? Another question: what is recommended way to limit only those home automation devices to access/use the 2.4Ghz / WEP-secured WLAN?

 

Many thanks in advance for the advice!

  • There is no WEP option for wifi security on the Orbi.

    You would have to have a separate and older router to handle those devices or upgrade those devices.

    The Orbi has MAC filtering to allow control of what connects where.
