RBRE960 IoT Network Slow 2mbps
I have an Orbi RBRE960 and three Orbi RBSE960 satellites. When enabling the IoT network, I get really slow speeds in the 1-3mbps range. I remove my cameras off the IoT network and left the WeMo and Lu...

It seems that all RBRE960 and RBSE960 are broadcasting the same SSID in the same channels. I suspect that older IoT devices are having issues with that as my Foscam camera see 4 of the same SSIDs on the wireless scan. Is there a way to only enable the RBRE960 to broadcast and disable IoT on the RBSE960s?
That is the entire point of a "mesh network". The same WiFi SSID is broadcast by every access point. Netgear chose to have them all use the same channel, as did every other manufacturer that I am aware of. What is unusual is the Foscam camera displaying each of the access points to the user. Most WiFi devices condense the information into a single entry on the display of available devices. (My Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite actually shows them all, along with their respective RSSI signal strengths and indicates which of them it made the connection to. My phones, laptops, etc. etc. Just show one SSID.)
What is displaying the speed of the IoT network? Are there any really old WiFi devices on the network?
