No, the whole purpose of orbi is single ssid with band steering. The orbi will steer devices that need more bandwidth to the 5ghz radio. When you first setup the orbi, it does take a bit before it learns the association.
There's been on/off ways of making this happen but usually firmware updates correct this or the skill to do so is more than the average person has.
