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.
