Orbi 750 and 2.4gHz SSID
Is there any way to attach a 2.4gHz device (Ambient Weather Station) to Orbi? IOW, the device scans but cannot see an SSID for 2.4gHz. I'm currently on hold with the 6th tech support person at NetGe...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Disable AX mode on the RBR.
Might try setting CTS value to 2347 Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
when I installed the orbi it did a firmware upgrade as part of the installation process, so I would have to guess from a distance that it is the latest version. I can check when I get home from work in about 12 hours. thanks.
Let us know if some of the suggestions work as well...
Check with the mfr of this device as well to see if they have any help and information. Ensure it's software or firmware is up to date.

I can check when I get home from work in about 12 hours. thanks.- all of the ambient weather stations rely on 2.4 GHz for connection to the router. if there is no way for orbee to provide an SSID for 2.4 GHz then that's a dead end. unless I can use one of the mesh extenders from Netgear which I mentioned in my original post? is there a way to connect one of these to orbi since they do differentiate a 5 and a 2.4 wavelength, that would be ideal. are Orbi and nighthawk mesh extender compatible?
- i sm planning to plug a netgear ac1200 wac104 into one of the rj45 sockets on an Orbi satellite using a 10 ft cat 6e cable, with different SSIDs for it, does any see why that would not work or conflict with Orbi perhaps? Open to any and all suggestions. still have to say, the Orbi install process was VERY nice. Other than the surprise lack of a 2.4gHz SSID, of course. :)
