Followed the directions and upgraded. Did the RBS750 units first and then the RBR750. Appears to be working well.
One important note, I did need to restart each RBS750 after the RBR750 was upgraded to re-establish connection. As each is on a UPS and mounted on the all, required a ladder.
Otherwise working fine at this time.
I didn't see the "IoT" network feature at first. You need to go into Wireless setup. You'll then see a "Wireless IoT Settings' and the ability to "enable" an IoT wireless SSID along with password.
Nice to have this feature added finally. I believe it's important to have a Trusted, IoT and Guest wireless SSID.
Wow, quick answers. Thanks. So far, WPA2-PSK [AES] + WPA3-Personal [SAE] seems to work with very old hardwares like 2008 MBP (El Capitan v10.11.6), iPhone 6+ (iOS v12.5.7), and original iPad Air (v12.5.7). I am going to assume they're using WPA2-PSK [AES]. I hope I don't have anything older that require WPA-PSK. I wished there was a way to see which wireless secured connections are being used in real time like in the router or even on client side.
What are your oldest connected wifi devices you have with this Orbi model?
Technically, it may be possible to infer which authentication method has been used. (Not having a router capable of WPA3 I have not investigated this carefully.)
The WiFi management frames which are used to handle the connection process include one for authentication.

Capturing management frames is not a trivial exercise. I went through nine circles of Hell getting a WiFi adapter put into monitor mode and getting it configured to capture management frames from only the Orbi WiFi adapter. (whew!) But, it has been months and I would have to start over to remember how to do it.
