I just checked my RBR750, though in AP mode, shouldn't matter. 

I copied plain text 2.4 Lake George and pasted it into the Wireless settings. 

I use a simple 8 alpha charater password and applied the settings.

 

All 3 of my wireless devices I have connected, ATT Android phone, iphone 6sP and a iphone 12 pro max. Speed checked thru the phones connected at the RBR.

How was the system updated on last FW update? Auto update? Orbi app or Manually?
