Multiple WIFI network on an ORBI
Hello
Orange keeps changing the name of my two WIFI network 😫 so my Alexa is down each time.
I have about 80 devices so there is no question I have to change the setting of those devices each time that Orange is resetting my WIFI names
My Idea is to add this two WIFI network to my 3x ORBI
I need to add a 5GHZ and a 2.4 GHZ Wifi Network with a different already defined name
Is it possible ? how ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
Cyril
Hello
I have found that you can have 3 x WIFI network that have 2 x SSID, one for 2.4 and one for 5 ghz
Netgear send a note today about 6 ghz

It would help to know the components of this network:
- The Internet Service Provider is Orange, correct?
- What equipment has Orange provided?
- This Orange equipment broadcasts WiFi channels, and Orange changes the WiFi name (SSID) of these channels?
- There is a Netgear Orbi system connected to the Orange equipment?
(specific model numbers would help) - What 'mode' is the Orbi system set to? (router or access point?)

Orbi doesn't support having separate SSID names.
One system that does support separate SSID name is the Nighthawk MK series MESH systems.

Hello
Thank you very much for your answer.
I just had an idea : can you define the "WIFI invited" as a 2.4GHZ connexion
If no :
- Do you know another router that is not "mobile" ?
