RBR50 WPA2-Personal won’t save
I just set up an old Orbi rbr50 and when I try to save he security to WPA2-personal, it always reverts back to WPA2/WPA2-Personal. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!
My firmware is v2.7.4.24 and there are supposedly no upgrades for it. My iOS devices indicate that the WPA/WPA2-Personal is weak security option. So I keep trying to select WPA2-Personal.
Andy my security screen looks different than yours. You have Wireless Settings where mine is WiFi Settings. It is Security Method and has three options:
1) None
2) WPA2-Personal
3) WPA/WPA2-Personal
