Unfortunately, this is not the case. It is a widespread problem and it is not an Orbi isolated problem. I am a pretty knowledgeable person about this kind of stuff and have done extensive research on this issue and have a lot of experience with these issues.

Either way, whatever is the case, with the devices I have issues with there, the problem goes away when the 5GHz band is disabled, the issues are gone. But that isn't a good solution đ

What would be the model of phones that have only 2.4G WiFi and cannot connect to an Orbi when the 5G WiFi is enabled?
