How do I adjust RIP settings on RBRE960 router?
I'm having a hard time connecting some Elgato Key Lights to my network. I did some research on r/elgato, and several users said the solution is to enable RIP (routing information protocol) in the rou...

The Orbi app does not provide access to any "advanced" functions. Settings for RIP can be found on the orbi web interface http://orbilogin.net Advanced Tab:
p.s. Most "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices work just fine without changing any of the default Orbi settings.

Thanks again! It looks like I just need to turn off the "SmartConnect" feature to get separate 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands.
The Logitech Litra lights will arrive tomorrow. I'll compare them with the Elgato Key Lights I have. If these work well, they're probably the best solution because I got them for not much more than the cost of the Nighthawk access point, and I can use them without setting up an additional network.
The Key Lights (Mark II) will arrive next Wed. If they connect right away to my existing network and produce much better light than the Logitech Litra, then I'll have to decide whether the $200 difference (between what I spent on them vs. what I'd spend on the Nighthawk) is worth it.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you!

On the 2ndary router? Yes, Since it's a non MESH router, it has the ability to disable Smart Connect and disable 5Ghz as well.
Let us know how things work out.
