Wifi 5Ghz No password

Hello all,

 

I have a security issue with my ORBIs RBS850.

 

The issue is on the password side. It seems that the 2.4Ghz bandwidth is password protected but NOT the 5ghz

 

This is the same in both of my orbi satelittes but not on the RBR (router).

 

My firmware version is  V3.2.16.22_1.4.9

 

Here is a picture of what you would see. Have a look at security type on the right.

 

My network is therefore completely unprotected. Any device has access to my 5Ghz without password.

 

Anybody with this issue? Netgear, can you help?


Thanks in advance.

    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 impenetrable community structure.)

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

    Orbi - NETGEAR Communities

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
