Open wifi SSID (after upgrade RBR850 to firmware 3.2.17.12_1.4.14)
I hate to say this, but i am very disappointed about the product and the support of our ORBI RBR850 and RBS850 set. There is stil no option to select this set (RBR850) on this support site.... ...
I have change the Orbi setup from AP to Router setup.
I connected the satellites with kabel and the sync was taken place.
the open SSID is changed to the secured SSID and all works correctly now.
it seems that in a AP setup, with kabel connected to the satellites, gives some synchronization bugs or give unexpected behaviors.
Can you get the RBS to sync correctly if you use the RBR in router mode? If not then I would contact NG support and ask them for help and infornation on this. You may have a faulty RBS is all which needs to be replaced.

Good to hear that I am not the only one with this issue.
so now I need to know what is the solution for this...
I am using the RBR850 as router for two weeks. Before that, I have been using the RBR850 as AP for a year. As I mentioned as long as the satellite wired to the RBR850, you could see open wifi sometime for that wired satellite. I setup the whole system from new(first wirless then wired) I bought two new RBS850 recently, and the open wifi thing happened for these two new RBS850 too. While I changed the orginal RBS850(within RBK852) from wired to wireless, the open wifi thing never happend for the wireless satellite. I sent my config file to NG support, they could repeat this problem, but they told me that they did try setup wired satellite from new, and no open wifi isssue.
