(a) To set a separate SSID for the 5 GHz network on your Orbi RBR:

    • From telnet/ssh console run

Code:
        nvram set wla_ssid="NAME OF YOUR 5GHZ NETWORK"
        nvram set allow_diff_ssid=1
        nvram commit

    • Reboot your RBR and RBS
    • Set “allow_diff_ssid” in nvram to “0” to disable separate SSIDs.

NOTE:
    It is not recommended to separate the SSIDs.
    Your connection could be unstable.
    Under your own risk.

Nice addition, but still risky to enable it seems.
