Orbi Pro Firmware update - V2.4.0.114
Just updated the firmware to the latest today. Nothing seems to have changed.
1) 2nd Wifi still gives a third open SSID (initially seems to work but 3rd open ssid appeared again after some time)
2) SSID bandwidth management is purely cosmetic because ive changed the ratios to the maximum and minimum and still gives the same bandwidth on each one.
3) VPN access puts me on a different subnet (one lower) to my internal network so I cant see nor access my network which defeats the purpose
4) 2nd SSID network still able to see all those on the primary network regardless of adjusting the check box
For me, i use a workaround of hiding the 2nd SSID and give out only to trusted people.
Disappointing product with no solution in sight it seems from the age of many of the posts here. Its too bad. Wireless range is pretty good but the security issues that comes with it is unacceptable.

Did you see the issue on 2.3.5.108? then update FW to 2.4.0.114, still see the issue,
if you see the issue on 2.3.5.108, then update to 2.4.0.114, but config don't change after update, so the issue still happen on 2.4.0.114,
Please disable WiFi 2 and Enagle again on 2.4.0.114, it won't see the issue again,
We will fix it in next maintance release.

Hi davidcheok
Thank you reaching Netgear Community.
Are you using Insight app to manage your Orbi Pro for this issue >>>1) 2nd Wifi still gives a third open SSID (initially seems to work but 3rd open ssid appeared again after some time)
For bandwidth management we need to how you have configured. Based on your config we can tell you whether it is working as per the config or not. Also let us know how much bandwidth you are looking to allocate?
3) VPN access puts me on a different subnet (one lower) to my internal network so I cant see nor access my network which defeats the purpose. Need debug logs.
Once again we take all your comments.
Best,

Are you using Insight app to manage your Orbi Pro for this issue -
No. Using web interface. Insight app Last updated 28th Aug 2019.
What's the difference? The browser directly interfaces with the firmware.
Bandwidth management slider - 97% wireless 1, 2% wireless 2 and 1% guest. Im looking to allocated 5mbits to guest. Is there a formula to this? Whatever numbers i put in doesnt seem to make any difference.
VPN: If my home network is 192.168.1.x, then connecting by VPN on my phone registers me as 192.168.2.x

TAP vs. TUN ... FMI: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BridgingAndRouting

That looks like a workaround for a workaround for a workaround. Is it so difficult to do things so that when we open a vpn connection into our network, we get an ip on our subnet? The wireless gives me the opposite problem when i want a separate network for the guest ssid, it allocates ips from my private subnet. Apple's airport extreme did it perfectly with no fuss and no hassle. Here we are given hoops and loops to jump through just to get something to work right. Ive also worked with flashing ddwrt too and those are easy enough to do too without resorting to writing scripts.
- Moment you turn on the second ssid, looks fine.
