Thats right. You can't see that screen anymore unless you enabled it on a debug.htm page from mulitple firmwares back. Its no longer an option. I had that view till I had to do a factory reset to correct some erratic behavior. Once you factory reset on a more recent firmware, there is really no going back.

You can still get to the screen, but for the connection type only shows orbi, wired, or wireless. Doesn't show band any more. Try this:
Log into Orbi and and click on Attached Devices
Click on any device name to open Edit Device page
Click in device name box
Press the <enter> key on your computer

I posted a very probable workaround for this months ago involving telnetting into the router and setting an environment variable, but to the best of my knowledge nobody tried. *shrugs*
