I finally received my much awaited RS700. I am very excited to get it set up and see what it can do. However, I am struggling with the lack of availability of documentation. From the Netgear site the only documentation I have seen is Installation (one page) and Specifications (one page).
Where are the user manuals with the details?????
Everything is readily available on https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rs700s#docs
Granted, it was not in place when the Internet Archive (WBM) crawled these pages. on 23-SEP-2023
Nice to know for the future reader, the Orbi WiFi 7 Router Model RBE971 and Orbi WiFi 7 Satellite Model RBE970 documentation, including the UM, is already available, too.
Fancy a little bit more confusion?
The Wi-Fi Alliance, the group that defines WPA3, specifies a few different modes of operation for different deployments. The naming is a little bit de-mystified by Netgear. These modes include different minimum requirements for different 802.11 features.
WPA3-SAE mode - Netgear does talk of WPA3-Personal - A type of WPA3-Personal that requires the use of Protected Management Frames (PMF).
WPA3-SAE transition mode - Netgear does talk of WPA2-Personal + WPA3-Personal - A type of WPA3-Personal that requires an endpoint to be capable of using Protected Management Frames (PMF), but not required, in situations where both WPA3 and WPA2-PSK are enabled on the same endpoint. In this case, attempts to use SAE are rejected if PMFs are not used.
