Please return support for separate SSID's for the bands. I have some IOT devices that do not support 5GZ and will not connect to the orbi. I have to maintain a seperate AP for them

One of many requests here for the same thing:
Orbi Mesh: option to split 2.4/5 GHz frequencies - NETGEAR Communities
And a lot more where that came from .
To see why it doesn't make a lot of sense, visit the Community.
Separate SSIDs are rarely justified and they break the whole purpose of the Orbi's Mesh technology.
Oh, and there are ways of achieving this if you are a competent hacker. Again, check the Community.
there is no working description how to get those 2.4ghz iot devices working with an rbr750 system.
Telnet option is not availabel in debug.htm, enableTelnet scripts do not work. setting power for 5ghz to 25% does not help.
Need to setup a special AP just in case I want an iot device added to my network. Netgear should provide a solution - disable 5g temporarily for the home network, force a device to 2.4 ghz temporarily or something else.
Ask the people who produced the IoT device how you are supposed to set it up.
Netgear is not the only company making "5GHz-only" wifi sources. It is up to the app writer to explain how you should get it to work.
