ORBI 770Series

Hello All,  Wondering if anyone has successfully added a TaHoma Beecon WPA2 Wi-Fi connection to the ORBI771 Router?  The Tahoma uses iPhone IOS somfy app to make the Wi-Fi connection.  The TaHoma requires a WPA2-Personal and the only option on the ORBI is WPA2-PSK.  Are the two Wi-Fi specifications compatible?  The iPhone IOS somfy app sees the SSID name from the ORBI771 Router.

Thanks for any in-site.

    Hello FURRYe38,  Thanks for your reply.  Finally got a reply from ToHoma somfy support and they said WPA2-PSK encryption not supported only WPA2-Personal. Tried the IoT 2.4 GHz only setting, but no go.   So decided to use Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi.  Finally found a micro USB Ethernet adaptor I needed on Amazon.  So I'm good to go.

    The Orbi system has a separate IoT network with configurable settings for 2.4 or 5Ghz devices along with wifi security settings that should work. Refer to the IoT mfr's support site for help and information regarding there product and getting it set up.
