Orbi Sattelite keep using default SSID
Hello,
I have bought a new RBK853, Router in AP mode. All worked well. I have two used RBS750, that I would like to sync to the RBR850.
After reset the used RBS750, sync went well, but both satellite keep displaying the default SSID "OrbiXX" and "OrbiXX Guest" while my RBR850 SSID has been customized.
I do not see any sync issue, nor error message. Firmwares are up to date, V4.6.9.11 for the RBR850 and V7.2.6.31 for the RBS750.
Any thought?
Thanks
There have been (to many to count) posts on the Community Forum describing problems when Orbi AX satellites are not on the same firmware release as the Orbi router.
I'd suggest getting everything on the same firmware release. Version 7 of the firmware introduced the IoT Network feature. You seem to have two choices:
- Update the router to v7.2.6.31 or
- Push the satellites back to v4.6.9.11

- Thanks, It has solved the problem.
If you need stable FW, v.21 is the most stable FW for the 7 and 8 series Orbi systems.
