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.
Try to change the 2.4g and 5g wifi channel at the same time, if nothing changed, you could try to change the country from US to Europe. Wait for the reboot, and check again.

Hello, I changed the RBR 850 from AP mode to router mode a few days ago. Trust me, you could see the satellite open wifi someday until NG fix that bug, it could happen when the RBR 850 lost internet(while the RBS850 is syncing).-router mode, as long as you do wired backhaul this bug alwasy exists, since no one could check the security type all the time, this may happen many times without noticing.(i mean many users never know their satellite have open 5g or 2.4g wifi)
When i AP mode you might want to set up a static IP address for the RBR and set a IP address reservation ON the main host router for the RBS. This would help in sync problems for the RBS. Glad the problem is fixed. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
