Separate WiFi 2.4 and 5ghz bands
I am no longer able to separate my WiFi bands on the most recent Orbi firmware versions. It worked for over a year fine, but after updating firmware they are no longer separate. I have tried the Te...
What a mess Netgear has created. Users who needed to separate bands could, novices got the base config. Instead of leaving well enough alone, Netgear decided to spend time and resources to remove an advanced feature.
And to add insult to injury, you don't overtly watch for the change and warn that you are preventing it. Instead you silently check for the modification, undo it, and restart the interfaces.
Well Netgear, you broke my home automation. All my 5ghz devices are orphaned and must be reset and reconfigured.
Rather than continue to work around your apparently endless string of poor dev decisions, I'll be shopping for new router/wifi mesh. Rest assured that it will NOT be a Netgear product.

NG has never supported separate of SSID names. NG has only given the disabling of either SSID radio broadcast as a temporary solution to help IoT users get there 2.4Ghz devices connected to Orbi.
Users who choose to separate there SSIDs are at there own risk if telnet process fails or stops working. Again, something that NG does NOT officially support. Even on Orbi AX.
Good Luck.
