RBK753S Router Configuration Settings
Hello Community, I need help with the following settings on a new RBK753S. Where do you set the DHCP lease time? How do you change the admin username? How do you disable SSID Broadcast on a...
Admin in the default name and log in for Orbi systems. Can't be changed to something different.
Thank you ekhalil,
I installed the oldest firmware from the link you provided but once the router and 2 satelites completed the updates there was not option to disable ssid broadcast. I do see the Enable Telnet option which i didn't see when I was running a newer version of the firmware (I used http://ipadress/debug.htm). Also, in general, the gui on the RBK753S lacks a number of advanced config options I was able to use with the RBR50. The more I use it, the more I notice.
Thanks again for the info on changing the default admin username.
Items like Beamforming, MIMO, FastRoaming, Daisy Chain are automatic now on Orbi AX thus why it's not a menu item like on Orbi AC models.
Orbi AX has never had options to disable either SSID broadcast. We have asked about that however have not seen any changes since Orbi AX came to market. Probably won't.
Thanks Furrye38.
What about enabling/disabling the ability for guests to see other devices on the network? I don't see that option. It would be nice to have a secondary advanced option where you can change settings to your liking.
Ya not seen on Orbi AX. I would contact NG support and ask about this to see if this is something by design on Orbi AX. Others have posted that Guest Network allows access to LAN side resource when we believe it shouldn't be.
Thank you FURRYe38,
I've had this router for a few days and I like it but I need more adanced settings in advanced settings. I think I'm going to return it and stick with my old router. If Netgear allows more advanced settings in the future I'll revisit.
