Separate IoT WiFi network available in Orbi RBK853?
Dear Netgear community,
Does the Orbi RBK853 provide a separate IoT WiFi network operating exclusively in the 2.4 GHz band?
The RBK853 user manual suggests that a separate IoT WiFi network in the 2.4 GHz band does exist; however, there are a few posts in the Netgear community that suggest otherwise.
Could any RBK853 users please clarify this? Thank you very much!

Not at this time. FYI, be on the look out for next FW update. All I can say.
