Orbi rbk 50 connecting to iaqualink iq900. It worked!
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 remot...
I too ended up setting up a guest network with no password and was able to get the iQ900 to connect. However, now I have found others saying the Guest network is not secure and separate from the main network. That makes me nervous to have the guest network available with no password. For the time being, I plan to turn off the guest network except when I only want to change settings on the pool. I am pretty sure the iAqualink software will retain the previous settings for the pool when it can't connect to Wifi. Hopefully, someone will post a workaround for this problem.
You could set up a older model AP or router with B support near this device. LAN wire this wireless AP to the Orbi system and then ensure the wireless signal is kept to a low power. Set channels away from the Orbi channel on 2.4ghz. Orbi set to channel 11 and this AP set on channel 1.
