Which Orbi Mesh Router will separate 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz with RBS20's
I currently have a RBR40 with 2 RBS20's. It's been a nightmare setting up camera's, doorbells, light switches because the RBR40 will not separate between 2.4 & 5Ghz. I've had to remove the RBS20's ...

Unfortunately the RBR40 doesn't have the "Disable Broadcast of SSID". I've looked where you have suggested, unless someone else knows if it might be listed somewhere else. If the RBR50 has that option and will work with the RBS20's I might just buy a new Router.. thanks

I just checked my RBR50. The red arrow points to the option to Enable/Disable broadcasting SSID.
Netgear did not provide this option on the newer AX product lines. Disappointing that your RBR40 does not have it.
Yes, RBS20 satellites integrate with the RBR50 router.
