RBK853 IOT network not present in Wireless settings

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I have RBK853 which has RBR850 and 2 x RBS850.&nbsp;The manual says I can enable IoT network in Wireless settings but I can't find it in Wireless tab in orbilogin.com router config page. Is it specific to a premium subscription only? I don't see it mentioned in the user manual.&nbsp;I want to keep all IoT things there like cameras, switches, lights and garage opener etc.&nbsp;

The IoT network is only seen on the 9 series Orbi system. It's not present on 3, 7 or 8 series systems.&nbsp;

Thank you for your response, it makes sense. I am very surprised at this inclusion in page 57, 58 which led me to believe it exists somehow on Orbi 8 series??-

Yes it is. I will inquire about this with NG.&nbsp;

Thank you. I appreciate the help in figuring this out and I was quite hopeful to segregate those devices.

It might be helpful if Netgear could share a "comparison sheet" for the 850, 850, and 860 products.
The 860 having a 10G WAN port is one obvious difference, as is the mention of VPN

This is&nbsp; the first mention of VPN Client support in a Netgear router (as far as I am aware).

Would be interesting to know what else is different about the three models.
