How do I distinguish the 2.4GHZ on ORBI RBR750 firmware V4.6.9.11_2.3.5
Hello. Does anyone have CURRENT info/scripts that will allow me to separate/distinguish the 2.4GHZ from the 5GHZ on the ORBI RBR750 router? I am trying to connect Defender cameras, which require th...

So you might want to also change the power output of the 5Ghz radio to 25%. Then connect your mobile device at a distance from the RBR to ensure the mobile phone keeps connected to the 2.4Ghz radio. After you get the IoT device connected, re-configure the system back to where it was. Turn OFF all RBS temporarily as well.
Be sure that 20/40 MHz Coexistence enabled.
Separation of SSIDs is NOT supported on Orbi systems.

Any chance you could tell me what the exact option in the NetGear software is, to decrease the power output? I hope that is not done via my ISP, because they won't work with me due to the fact that I am no longer using their router, but the Orbi.
And, once I unplug the satellites and move my phone away from the router, how to I tell if it got hooked up to the 2.4ghz?
Thanks you guys for trying to help a newbie 🙂

Set the 5Ghz power from 100% to 25%. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

I am going to try a connection directly with the ethernet cable, per the Defender CS. But they say the cameras will fail if the network switches the connection to a 5ghz. I believe, though, that my satellite will ALWAYS be 2.4ghz.
Can anyone confirm? These cameras are to be a long way from the router, out in horse stalls, and I believe they can only connect to my 2nd satellite, where I have router, then XX feet to first satellite, then XX feet to 2nd satellite.
