Anyone have any solutions on how am i able to split my SSID with the latest firmware for my Orbi RBK50s? Thanks!
The simple solution is to manually install the previous firmware and "re-split" the WiFi SSID's. There are some forum posts (100's of entries) about splitting SSID's on the newest firmware. It will take more time to wade through that in hopes of finding a solution than to install the previous firmware, but that is an option.
Yale appears to have more than one electronic lock. Which model is this one?
