Setting Different WiFi Passwords for 2.4 and 5GHz Connections
Good day! I followed the steps in this community discussion (How to set a separate SSID for the 5 GHz network on your Orbi), so I was able to set a different SSID for the 5GHz network. Is there a way...

I just thought of this, but is there a way to limit the Guest network to only use the 2.4GHz band?

To Disable the Guest 5GHz band follow the following:
- From browser go to the router's debug page (http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm). Use your router's IP address or http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm
- Enter admin as user name and your router’s management password
- Tick "Enable Telnet" option
- Use Telnet to connect to your Router telnet 192.168.1.1 and enter admin and the same password as above
- Enter the following commands:
- config set wla1_endis_guestNet=0
- config commit
- config get wl5g_GUEST_AP --> You should get ath11
- ifconfig ath11 down --> ath11 is what you got in the previous command
- Repeat the above for every satellite.
Good luck!
