Orbi: We really need separate SSID for 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz or speed is limited to less than 200 Mbps
TLDR: With Orbi, my 5Ghz capable devices are "forced" to connect to 2.4 Ghz most of the time, slowing down speed. Tested against 3 different routers and my 5Ghz capable can connect to 5Ghz network al...
If you insist on the 5Ghz band on a solution that does not support or have separate ssids then I suggest you turn off the 2.4GHz radio all together then there will be nothing connected to it since it won't exist.
Orbi just may not be the solution for you. If/when they come out with the seperate said then you can revisit.
Is it possible to turn off the 2.4GHz on the satellite? The main unit has the option to do so but satellite does not?
I do want to keep both 2.4 and 5Ghz because some of my devices only support 2.4 Ghz.
