Hi,
My orbi Rbr50 stream 5g wifi stream without security, that means password free.
On the web onterface - password is activated for both 2.4 and 5 g streams, but the stream is only protected with passwotf on the 2.4 stream. On a 5g connected device I get an “insecure network” message. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so there may be useful responses here, but Orbi systems are not like standard routers, so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Orbi - NETGEAR Communities
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.Hi Gilko43
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
May we please know the firmware version of the router and the satellite?
Did you enable Guest network?
Kindly access the Orbi Satellite Web UI. Find the IP address of the satellite from Router Attached Device page, then visit http://<ip address of satellite>. Once logged in, please check the Orbi Satellite WiFi Security Type for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Is this for the 50 series or 850 series Orbi?
