Re: New - RBE970 / RBE971 Firmware Version 9.12.3.3 Released
Hi, Advanced user here, that has tinkered with OpenWRT, Voxel and DD-WRT builds on R7800, R9000 in the past. Obtained an RBE971 today, and was surprised how little configurability the RBE971 has...
Never. Orbi systems introduced an additional WiFi SSID ("IoT") that can enable/disable the 2.4 and 5G WiFi frequencies. The primary WiFi SSID is always on and broadcast. The guest SSID can be on or off, but if it is on then both 2.4G and 5G frequencies are always on. Primary and guest WiFi SSIDs are always the same on both 2.4G and 5G frequencies. (and 6G for the 970 product).
Daisy Chain is always enabled. If a satellite decides connecting to another satellite rather than the router gives better performance, it does so.
What you want is never going to happen.
