RBS850 OEPN 5G WIFI
I got one new rbk852 and one new rbs850 on sunday(RMA,NG support said it might be a hardware issue). I set orbi as AP mode( two satellite wireless connect the RBR850) Every is all right. Once your ONT is powered off then back on(20 seconds) You can see 5g security none on both satellites web page.(At this time, you could choose to reboot rbr850 or change the 5g channel and wait for sync )
So I think this open 5g wifi thing should be a firmware bug.

So did you remove the special character from the PW and what were the results?
Try a simple 6-15 alpha character only password to see if the RBS completes and syncs correctly with correct security status?
I don't use special characters on mine.
You'll need to contact NG support about what your having problems with.
Good Luck.
