Orbi 753 unencrypted 5ghz network even though WPA2 security is turned on
Hi Everyone, I have searched through the forum and seen other people have similar issues but briefly 1) RBK753, satellites setup with ethernet backhaul, router running in AP mode 2) from day 1...

I took my Orbi 850 series and put it into AP Mode. I let the RBS850 wirelessly connect first then Ethernet connected them behind the RBR. RBR850 is connected to a NetDuma R2 router.
For a short period, say 5-10 seconds I did see on 1 RBS850s web page reported Security Type as NONE. However after refreshing the page afterwards, the Security Type did change to WPA2/AES.
One thing I'm curious about, both RBS are reporting Up to 800/2167 for there Wireless Mode. I beleive there supposed to be 1200/2400 on there front haul radios as per the data sheet:
• Orbi AX6000 Router and AX6000 Satellites
(2400 + 2400 + 1200Mbps)†
The RBR is reporting 1147/2400:
Any one else see this on there RBS?
