Orbi RBR752 Mesh, Guestlan, SSH, VPN Client
Hi
I bought the Orbi Mesh Set RBR750 couple days ago. Orbi™ AX4200 (RBK752) Tri-band WiFi 6 Mesh System
I was talking with 2 different support members from netgear to precheck if my desired funktions can handled by orbi.
And now 2 days later , none of them work.
Thats why i write here now, i want to figure out if i have bad settings or the customer support just lying :(
First Problem: VPN Client, i try to set up a client, that my whole network uses vpn. couldn find the option.
Second: SSH Access, i want a list of all connected devices / mac addresses, is this possible somehow?
Third and most important: GuestWLAN it doesnt work through mesh.
Setup: Router in the basement ground floor. Sattelite first floor. Both connected via ethernet. i have in almost each room ethernet.
All together with Switch Zyxel 24-Port Gigabit [GS1900-24]
I tried ethernet backhaul and wifi backhaul.
firmware: V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
alot of restarts.
satelite connection direct via ethernet , not through switch.
i see the the guest network on my sattelite 100% but i cant connect or if i can conenct i have no internet.
at my groundfloor i can connect to it and i have internet.
the most dissapointed thing, i had "only" that questWLAN problem with my "old" asus mesh system, thats the reason why i asked twice the netgear support if this really works.
so i switched out my hardware, and now the same and more problems :-(
sorry for my bad english, im not nativ and try my best to explain.
I appreciate any kind of tipps to solve this problems. thank you.

The be honest, the Netgear support is really bad. no technical know how or maybe just enough for 08/15 consumer. im super disappointed for such high-price models.
my solution: i switched to TP Link Accespoints with Omada Software. and Raspberry 4 with OpenWRT as Router.
I solved all my "problems" without stress. create community and support on both device/software.
the only disadvantage i have no wifi 6, tbh i dont need it, it would be a nice to have.
greetings.
Good Luck.
