Getting ORBI to work with Roomba
I just purchased a robotic vacuum and it turns out it will only connect to 2.4 MHz networks. The latest firmware for my Orbi will not allow selection of 2.4 vs. 5.0 SSID's. I am aware there are sop...

My router is an RBR40 runing the same firmware as you. I am in router mode (not AP). I am viewing on Chrome. The page has looked like this from my Day 1, which was November 2017. The page format has not changed through any firmware update for me from that time. If it still is incomplete on alternate browsers, maybe you need to reset due to a faulty download. You could do a factory reset, or manually download the firmware again and manually upload it to your devices. Just guessing here.

This problem (device wants 2.4g only) has been discussed here many times. Please do a search and you will find a couple of options, none of which have been offered here in this thread.
