RBR750 provides only 2.4ghz to my Galaxy S10 when in the bedroom

Interesting - if my mobiles fall-over to 2.4 GHz here (also around the -60dB area) I still get 10...20 Mb/s under poor conditions (many other active 2.4 GHz networks, visible and invisible ones). But I do admit not all the [100% wired] APs are WiFi 6, and it's not Orbi / Orbi AX - it's a Netgear Insight managed WLAN environment.

Yeah, it's so bad for me. On 2.4ghz I get 2-4mbps, if that. Now I get 25-40mbps haha, thank goodness. It was rough lol

Let us know if you get that config to persist thru a reboot or power cycle.

Just following up with my resolution post, located in the larger thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/How-to-set-a-separate-SSID-for-the-5-GHz-network-on-your-Orbi/...

This post is number 779 in that thread.

Glad you got it working. FYI, this un-offcial work around may break on next FW update, something to be aware of.

Enjoy.

Thanks! I'll make sure not to update it 🙂 I assume it won't auto-update since that would mean downtime. I may modify the JScript for the router to display both SSIDs in the web portal for fun.

NG may push FW. So you'll need to keep an eye on it. When NG posts new FW to there auto update servers, a notification will be seen on the RBRs web page, then sometimes you won't and the system will just udpate on it's own.

Good to know, thanks. Looks like a new firewall rule will be going up. 🙂
