No Option Available To Setup IoT Network on Orbi AX6000 RBR850 Router
I am trying to setup/enable a separate IoT network on my Orbi AX6000 router and am not seeing any available options to do this in the routers admin settings. I have read a few articles that say there should be an option to setup/enable an IoT network under the wireless settings section, but when I log into the orbilogin.com web browser, I cannot find anything pertaining sort of settings in either the basic or advanced areas that mention anything about IoT settings. I have performed a factory reset of the router and still was unable to see any IoT network settings or options.
What firmware is on this RBR850?
The IoT WiFi network was introduced with firmware 7.2.6.21 in August, 2023. Please be aware that there have been a number of discussions on the forum regarding whether 7.2.6.21 remains a "better choice" than the latest firmware, 7.2.6.31 which was released in April, 2024.

- Thank you very much for all the info. Manually updated firmware on the router because orbi app kept saying it was up to date and it seems to have solved my issues.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
