Force Plystation Portal onto 5ghz band.
Hi everyone, I have a Netgear Orbi RBR850. At the weekend I purchased a Sony PlayStation Portal. The Portal is suppose to run on a 5Ghz band. How do I force the Portal onto the Orbi’s 5ghz band? Man...

You'll have to ask the people who made the portal.
By design the Orbi broadcasts both 2.4 and 5 GHz. it is up to your devices to connect.
If the device doesn't work with 2.4 GHz, it won't see it.
Thank you for your reply.
The PlayStation Portal can hop onto 2Ghz and 5Ghz bands. However, it’s recommended to run it on the faster 5Ghz band only.
Is there a way to achieve this on the Orbi?
Previous routers I have owned (by other brands) had the ability to assign a device to either the 2Ghz or 5ghz or both bands.

Some newer devices do have that feature, my MR93 Mesh, for example, but I see no sign that this is possible on the RBR850.
