Initial Set-up Questions

Hello Kevin, I've been working through the users manual and just came back to your initial comments. So on the Internet Setup page under the Basic tab, instead of clicking the "Get Automatically from the ISP" radio button under Domain Name Server (DNS) Address do as you instructed above and use Google DNS?
I am also wondering about what can be assigned and what is automatically assigned and can't be changed. For example, I've learned I have a IoT device (WIFI photo frame) that prefers 2.4GHz. Can I assign this device to this IoT network that was seemingly created automatically when I created my Primary Network.
Also, I have two Satellites. The router and the Satellites are on different floors/basement of the house. It seems logical that the devices that near a particular Satellite would be connected to that Satellite. Can I assign a device to a specific Satellite or the router?

The IoT network can be configured to work solely on the 2.4Ghz band by navigating to "admin">"Wireless"> then select 2.4GHz under the IoT network settings. Unfortunately, device assignments is not an available feature of the Orbi Mesh systems at this time.
Best,
Kevin
