How do I adjust RIP settings on RBRE960 router?

I'm having a hard time connecting some Elgato Key Lights to my network. I did some research on r/elgato, and several users said the solution is to enable RIP (routing information protocol) in the router. One person, specifically with an Orbi RBR850 router, said he did this, and it finally enabled him to connect the lights. 

 

How do I enable this? I've checked everywhere in the Orbi app but can't find a setting for enabling RIP.

  • The Orbi app does not provide access to any "advanced" functions.  Settings for RIP can be found on the orbi web interface http://orbilogin.net Advanced Tab:

    p.s. Most "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices work just fine without changing any of the default Orbi settings.

    RIP is not needed nor need to be enabled.

     

    There is a separate IoT network SSID for IoT devices that can be enable and used for connecting to IoT devices. This was also enabled on the 850 series this past year. 

     

    Do a search online on what RIP is really used for.

      Unfortunately, the Elgato Key Lights are notoriously finicky to set up and get connected to WiFi. I tried connecting them to the IoT network but that did't work.
