Update went smooth, no issues so far.
Does someone have a clue where the satellite get's the 2.4 SSID name?
Devices are recognized AS 2.4 IoT
But 2.4 IoT is disabled on RBR
Regards
That screen shot clearly shows the IoT network enabled on 2.4G and 5G.
Totally "MY BAD". Yes, the IoT network shows as disabled
And those IoT devices are configured to access 2.4 GHz SSID named "KUBA" same as 5 GHz
That hidden Wifi network it's picked up is likely actually the mesh backhaul, which might be out of sync?
Under your router admin > advanced > settings > Guest network: Is that disabled? If enabled, check the SSID for that.
Under the Attached Devices list > What is the Backhaul Status for each satellite and how are they daisy chained together - each directly to the router or router <> satellite <> satellite?
I would then suggest to manually log into each satellite's admin page one at a time and check their firmware had been both correctly updated.
If that's all good, you might wish to click the 'apply' button the Wireless settings again or if that doesn't help even consider resetting the backhaul password and resync those satellites over.
As for power cycling the router/satellites (of the Netgear Orbi Mesh) after firmware updates, it helps clear out old settings left behind from the previous firmware(s). Even reapplying settings on router admin webpages over the top without changing them can help ensure those settings are actually set, rather than still picking up on previous ones from another firmware. Turn off the satellites, then the router, power back on the router, wait till full connection, then repeat for each satellite, one at a time waiting for it's dark blue connection. Ensure the backhaul signal is strong between them all. Ideally also ensure the satellite connects to the router directly, unless you actually want a daisy chain between multiple satellites.
