RBK752 - Orbi WiFi 6 System AX4200 - Feature request: Temporary disable 5G for 2G only clients
Hi, I hereby request a feature request to a future firmware update for RBR750. For the most part this Mesh system works fairly well, however, I have noticed that the simultaneous 2G + 5G signals on same SSID can give problems for some IoT devices. I have some smart devices in my home that is only able to run on 2G Wi-Fi. Since my RBR750 Wifi Broadcast on both 5GHz and 2GHz band, it is impossible for me to force connect my Orbi to IoT devices with 2G capability only.
- Feature request 1: We need to be able to temporary disable 5G, for connecting devices that are unable to connect to 5G band, like IoT devices.
- Feature request 2: To further secure regular computers and phones, and isolate IoT devices. IoT devices should be able to have a separate SSID, similar to guest network, only it would be running continuously for these type of devices. If this would be an option, feature request 1 can e.g. be only needed as an option for the second "IoT" SSID.
