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...
Right, that makes sense now. I'll have a try. I think that's because my assumption was that we typically plug ethernet cables to the LAN port for any APs. Thanks for the advice!
This open wifi thing is a firmware bug. It will happen again until NG fix it. If you do AP mode(via lan port), no open wifi problem for previous orbi system(RBK 50) I found this bug one year ago, and it still exists.
BTW, if you do AP mode via lan port, other devices will show in the RBR page, and if you changed anything in the wifi setting, it will sync perfectly( if you do wan port, it will not)
