Cannot connect to 5G network on Orbi 3000 from Windows or Mac
I have an Orbi AC3000(RBK53). I'm trying to connect to the 5G network from both a Macbook and a Windows 10 laptop. On both laptops I can see three networks: ORBI22, ORBI22_2GEXT, and ORBI22_5GEXT....
Hmmmm. I may not have a problem. I signed onto the Orbi router "orbilogin.com" and it appears that while everything I have is signed onto the "ORBI22" network, my devices have a mix of 2.4G and 5G connections. Someone told me that Orbi is dual-band and will select the most appropriate network to connect to??? So maybe I don't have a problem?
ORBI22 is a randomly factory default network name, Orbi does use one name/SSID for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. So no problem, indeed.
