Multiple WIFI network on an ORBI

[Cyrilblanc]

Hello

Orange keeps changing the name of my two WIFI network 😫 so my Alexa is down each time.

I have about 80 devices so there is no question I have to change the setting of those devices each time that Orange is resetting my WIFI names

My Idea is to add this two WIFI network to my 3x ORBI 

I need to add a 5GHZ and a 2.4 GHZ Wifi Network with a different already defined name

Is it possible ? how ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards

Cyril

Hello 

I have found that you can have 3 x WIFI network that have 2 x SSID, one for 2.4 and one for 5 ghz

Netgear send a note today about 6 ghz

It would help to know the components of this network:

• The Internet Service Provider is Orange, correct?
• What equipment has Orange provided?
• This Orange equipment broadcasts WiFi channels, and Orange changes the WiFi name (SSID) of these channels?
• There is a Netgear Orbi system connected to the Orange equipment?
  (specific model numbers would help)
• What 'mode' is the Orbi system set to? (router or access point?)
•

Orbi doesn't support having separate SSID names. 

One system that does support separate SSID name is the Nighthawk MK series MESH systems.

Hello

Thank you very much for your answer.

I just had an idea : can you define the "WIFI invited" as a 2.4GHZ connexion

If no :

- Do you know another router that is not "mobile" ?
