Assign HomeKit devices to 2.4Ghz Band
I'm having some issues with some devices staying connected to Homekit, including Hunter Fan, Nanoleaf & Meross bulbs. Still other devices have had no issues at all, including Circle View doorbell, K...
Can you confirm which Orbi model system you have?
New FW for the RBK 7 and 8 series has IoT support for a separate 2.4Ghz network for those problematic IoT devices.
I think it's actually the RBK752 (difference appearing to be, only one satellite). AX4200.

Would need to update the system to v7.x FW to get the new IoT WiFi Network feature.
Got this downloaded and applied to the router. The Satellite prompts for a user/pw, and when I enter the same one that works on the router, it just give me another prompt. If I intentionally enter the wrong credentials, I get an "access denied" message. Not sure how to proceed on the Satellite.
Are there best practices on how to set up/enable the IoT Network settings? I know most of the instructions insist the new device and iPhone be on the same network; I assume that means I also need to add my phone to the IoT network?
Try admin and password on the RBS web page.
There is two link in the initial post of the FW update thread that should get you started on IoT network configuration.
I highly recommend getting the RBS update first before doing anything else. The RBS should have been updated first, not the RBR.
