A little bit confused how this SSID separation ever was enabled for Wireless 1 (and as well for the Guest Network) - not an intended feature, making it an illegal combination:
They added it an a firmware update not too long ago.
Nice find. Please check if the https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-Beta/bd-p/en-business-orbiprobeta builds are correctly allowing this (in my personal opinion useless) feature.
If this isn't addressed, hnagaraju and DavidGo need to know and take care about.

SSID separation is absolutely not useless when you want to lock your 5ghz capable IoT devices to 2.4ghz, as well as many other use cases.
I guess you're not a fan of fine-grained control of your devices?
