Not able to have multiple SSID on Orbi
Submitting this topic again in correct forum (instead of general forum). Router - Orbi RBR753 (AX4200) Firmware version - V4.6.5.14 Main OS for my devices - Windows 2 issues after upgrading...
Thank you for your quick and detailed explaination to help me out here.
1. I already turned OFF WiFi to my ISP modem/router earlier.
2. I did not know about AP mode until I saw your response. I made this change also. Let's see how it goes?

After using AP mode, it looks like my laptop (which uses guest network with WPA2) is having similar gateway IP address what I have on regular device (with WPA3). So I did not come across any issue related to loosing internet after that.
Because I used AP mode I came across one major hiccup. My active armor subscription does not work any more which is unfortunate.
Going through one after another hurdle. I hope Netgear Orbi designers are reading these posts and understand practical issues their consumers are facing.
The following post explains the same thing.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Armor product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Armor and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this Orbi AX forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Good Luck.
