    Hello TIWIENT,

     

    I understand that you would like to manage the internet bandwidth that your staff is using for business needs.  This feature is not available on the consumer Orbi products. In order to gain access to business features like implementing multiple SSIDs you would need to purchase a Pro model device. The Orbi Pro would be the best Pro device for your business since you are using an Orbi for your current network implementation,

     

     

    Please see below the suggested Orbi Pro model for your network and the instruction on how to manage download bandwidth per SSID :

    Please let me know if you have additional questions!

     

    Best,

      KevinLiT Tough to know what orbi to recommend off such limited data from the OP. The 50 or 80 series pro might be better depending on the users needs. I'd hate to recommend an orbi pro that didn't meet their needs. 

       

      TIWIENT What sized space are you trying to cover? How many devices do you need to support? Are you planning on using a wired backhaul or wireless backhaul. What current orbi do you have and is it providing adequate coverage and speeds?

        Hi, thank you for your reply, I know this is a support group and really appreciate everyone's comments, I have Orbi 4GX AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Model LBR1020. I'm just a little frustrated as there is no manual you can read on.  Although the app is good but for someone not too technical, I have to play around it to get it going.  It's definetely not the model I need, sad about it.  Thank you again all so much.
