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"
Hi. The firmware is the latest according to netgear -
Firmware Version
V3.2.16.6_1.4.4
I've gone through and disabled 5mHz options throughout, as well as AX mode and setting CTS value to 2347 , the scanner on the weather station cannot see any wi-fi network. My efforts continue. :)

Can try updating FW to see:

Sounds like the device is not compatible or have the ability to see Smart Connect enabled wifi signals. I would recommend contacting the mfr of trhis device and ask them about this. Possible there wifi drivers are not up to date enough to see whats being broadcast by Orbi.
