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...
Thanks for all the info, but I have run out of time 😞
I did try lowering the percentage/power, as had been suggested, to try to access the 2.4 ghz. But still couldn't access it.
Yes, the Defender setup does create a temporary hotspot upon reading the QR code; I believe they are same across my 2 cameras. But my network didn't appear; couldn't enter its password.
For now, I went back to my router from my ISP ( A GigaSpire), and named the two networks differently for 5/2.4, with same password. Trying 2 different non-Netgear extenders, one set to be explicitly only 2.4ghz that both my phone and camera can connect to - they don't have the range of the Orbi satellites but I might be forced to this method.
Not sure I could complete setup like this and then go back to Orbis, as you suggest, but will try again after I return.
While the Defender setup is clearly 'deficient' in not being able to pick out the 2.4ghz from the Orbi router (my Arlo setup had no problem), their cameras can handle temperatures down to -40F, so that is why I chose them.
Did NOT realize compatibility was going to be such a challenge!
I am not happy with Netgear not separating the channels, but I AM impressed with the Netgear community 🙂
So when you get back, try setting up your current ISP routers 2.4Ghz SSID name and PW and Security Mode and channels, to same as what you have on the Orbi. If you have the cameras connected on the ISP router, then all it should take is that turning ON the Orbi RBR and letting it come to ready, once it's ready, turn OFF the wifi radios on the ISP router. The cameras should auto migrate over to the Orbi RBR seemlessly and connect there with out having to do anything else.
