ORBI NBR750 5gh cannot be disabled
I have an ORBI NBR750. I need to force the router to use only the 2.4 GHz antennas by disabling the 5 GHz ones. Even though I’ve done this, I still see some connected devices listed as connected to the 5 GHz band. I turned off the two satellites, restarted the router, but nothing changed; my iPhone is still connected to the 5 GHz band instead of the 2.4 GHz band. Netgear support doesn’t seem to respond to products that are out of warranty. How do I fix this? Also, the system tells me there’s a firmware update available, but in reality, there isn’t one. Is it possible to have all these bugs?

You can't disable 5ghz on the Orbi's.
Why do you think you need to disable it?
What firmware version are you on?
