Disable 802.1b?

Hello all,

 

If I do not have any 802.1b devices how can I disable this support in the Orbi? 

 

Thanks,

Steve

You can't. modes are automatic with Smart Connect and MESH systems. If you don't have any B mode devices then the router probably wont use any resources for it. Nothing to worry about.
