Followed the directions and upgraded. Did the RBS750 units first and then the RBR750. Appears to be working well.
One important note, I did need to restart each RBS750 after the RBR750 was upgraded to re-establish connection. As each is on a UPS and mounted on the all, required a ladder.
Otherwise working fine at this time.
I didn't see the "IoT" network feature at first. You need to go into Wireless setup. You'll then see a "Wireless IoT Settings' and the ability to "enable" an IoT wireless SSID along with password.
Nice to have this feature added finally. I believe it's important to have a Trusted, IoT and Guest wireless SSID.
Different subject but for an echo device I need to have separate SSIDS for 2.4 and 5.ghz bands. Is there a knowledge base article?

It is a more effective practice to introduce new topics in a new post (because people who have followed the dozens of posts in an on-going discussion may no longer be paying attention to that thread.)
My Echo Dots function perfectly well with the Orbi having the same SSID on both 2.4 and 5G bands.
Can you please point to something from Amazon for this specific Echo product that requires separate SSIDs?
- SooooorrrrrrYYY CHESE.😳
I have an echo sub that does not recognize the single SSID. Amazon Tech support recommend two SSIDs.
But I just used the IOT SSID it was the only I saw and preferred, so never mind.
Thank you for keeping the community organized.👍
