Orbi 753 unencrypted 5ghz network even though WPA2 security is turned on

the switch is in between the router and the units.

After further tinkering, no I had not set it up using a wireless connection. I did try that today, seems to only connect and sync up in Router mode

When I did that , security was appropriately setup on the satellite.

When I connected to wired ethernet backhaul, it was not getting pickup. 

For some reason, ethernet switch based backhaul setup is very fast/works with Router in AP mode.

I have not been able to get the router to connect with satellites in ethernet switch topology when the router is in Router mode. 

After connecting back in access point mode, the 5GHz on the satellite showed WPA2 security but the 2.4 GHz was showing no security and also showing the SSID as the one that comes originally with the router (Go figure). ON the other satellite, it was flipped, security was on 2.4ghz but no wpa2 on the 5 ghz

i have a call into Netgear support. Someone from level 2 support is supposed to contact me..

Sigh, so bizarre.

I do wish telnet was not disabled and i could go and turn on the security settings to WPA2 directly on the router and be done.

The mystery of the factory delivered SSID showing up on the 2.4GHz network on the satellite is also very bizarre. Sounds like an overall sync issue on wired ethernet backhaul

Anyone able to get Router mode going with ethernet backhaul in ethernet switch topology ?

thanks
