No Security 5G wifi in RBS40V when wired synced.
I connected the speaker to oribi router by wired connection. Router Wifi setting sync to the speaker, looks good. But I found only the 2.4G sync correctly. 5G SSID synced, but Security Type is ...
This has been more helpful for me than for you. I see exactly which screen you brought up. Sure enough, MY satellite says that both 2.4G and 5G have the same security. It does not seem possible that your satellite can have different security settings on the channels.
My only suggestion is to
- Power off the voice satellite
- Have the router "forget" ("delete", whatever the option is that pops up when you click on the Attached Devices screen for a satellite that is not connected)
- "factory reset" the satellite using the paperclip
- Perform another sync with the router.
ekhalilknows far more than I do about the internal workings of the Orbi product. "Maybe" there is some config parameter that could be changed using telnet. I would hope that a complete wipe of the config would do the trick.
You can check the settings in your satellite using telnet commands.
Please telnet to the satellite and do the following command to print the security settings in the satellite:
nvram show | grep sectype
All but 2 of the parameters should have the value 4, which means WPA2.
Thanks for providing this useful test. Works great on MY system. Alas, I fear it will only confirm the original problem. Something is "seriously wrong."
- The satellite Home Page shows the 2.4G security as WPA2-PSK[AES], but the 5G security as "None"
- A WiFi scanner shows the 2.4G security as WPA2-PSK[AES], but the 5G security as "None"
- Telnet shows the 2.4G security type as "4", but the 5G security type as ??? (what is the value for "None")
So, a simple correction would be to use telnet to set the offending sectype to 4 and comit the change?

Yes, setting the value to 4, commiting the changes and then reboot should fix the issue, but I still think that factory resetting the satellite should also fix the issue.
I did factory reset some times, but I do not know why I cannot telnet to speaker.
Finally, I got the 5G security type synced, but another sync issue happens.
The speaker web login username and password is default username/password, not sync with router.
I do not want to do factory reset and sync any more. I think this state is OK to me.
