Orbi MESH systems do NOT support separation of SSIDs.
So you might want to also change the power output of the 5Ghz radio to 25%. Then connect your setup mobile device at a distance from the RBR to ensure the mobile phone keeps connected to the 2.4Ghz radio. After you get the IoT device connected, re-configure the system back to where it was. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. Turn OFF the RBS while you are doing this.
