Orbi 852 Wireless Smart Connect with PS4 Pro
This post is just for future information to provide a solution to a potential problem with the Smart Connect and the PS4 Pro. When I switched over to my Orbi 852 (latest firmware and hard reset post ...

With the PS4 Pro in the 5GHz only mode for a wifi frequency and the Orbi 852 (smart connect only) these were the results:
When I tried to login the Orbi 852 network the PS4 Pro refused the connection repeatedly-I then observed the network status page of the PS4 Pro and it would pickup the 5GHz signal from the Orbi 852 for approx 5 sec but then drop-this continued without interuption.
UPDATE: Beta firmware provided by NG yesterday has resolved this issue to include re-establishing the PS4 Pro connection upon startup from standby or fully off without having to provide wifi login information. Preliminary results look good and further analysis using the different wifi frequency modes for the PS4 Pro will be posted. FYI PS4 Pro does not support WPA3 at this time.

Thanks for this detailed info. I would open a support ticket regarding this and give this information to NG. Seems like there could be some tuning done in FW hopefully.

Thanks for letting me know the PS4 behaves correctly with a RBK50 in place of the RBK850.
Post all information here in your thread so as to keep all the information centralized. No need to send me any PMs.
Keep in touch with Blanca. Shes trying to contact you.
