RBR50 v. RBK50
TELNET is not an option in my debug menu for my Orbi RBR50. Is it available in the Orbi RBK50? I need to create separate 2.4 and 5.0 SSIDs for some "smart home" products. [And, yes, I am using the latest firmware for my RBR50.]
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I also forgot to mention that I am using Windows 11, and I have TELNET enabled on my machine.

Re: RBR50 v. RBK50
RBK50 is the model number of a "Kit" containing one RBR50 router and one RBS50 statellite. (K stands for Kit).
Telnet has not been an option for some time on any Orbi product.
Further, there is no method (even using telnet) that will create separate SSIDs for 2.4G and 5G channels. Years ago, there was a telnet hack that could do so, but the hack stopped working with one of the firmware releases.
Over 90% of Internet of Things (IoT) devices connect by simply following the setup process. For those few that struggle, there are some workarounds.
Perhaps if you describe the product, someone will have experience with it and offer advice.
