Wanted to post cause this was driving me nuts. I bought the orbi rbk50 router to replace old one. Great reception everywhere but the only thing it wouldn't recognize was my iaqualink iq900 to remotely run my swimming pool controls. I ended up having to create a guest network with NO PASSWORD and then choose that network while setting up the wifi using wifi setup tool on iaqualink website. It recognized it immediately... The old iaqualink iq900 runs on a b band and for some reason it conflicts with security stuff on my home network.... Hope this helps somebody... I would've liked to have seen this many hours ago.
The Orbi system by default is a single SSID (2.4G + 5G as one) network. Your iaqualink iq900 is looking for 2.4G
There are work arounds. You can do a search in this community for specifics. Good luck.
