    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    Yeah, I was perfectly happy with the Orbi out of the box for a couple of years but then got a soundbar that doesn't work well with it as it communicates with the subwoofer over a 5GHz link. If it weren't for the soundbar I wouldn't want to separate the SSIDs either.

    The issue I was referring to is completely insignificant in the larger scheme of things so please don't stress out about it! I hope you and your family are safe and well. Take care.

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    @Voxel I would be greatly obliged if you could please look into the stability and speed issues experienced upon separating SSIDs (described in greater detail in my earlier posts on this thread.) I know that you have your hands full so please disregard this request if it is a bother! Many...

    Can you please specify what you mean by a software erase and how to do it. Thanks!

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    Many thanks for taking the time out for this deep dive! The thing is, prior to separating the SSIDs my Orbi was working just fine with all my Apple devices for a good 2 plus years. I also didn't have any issues after upgrading to Voxel's firmware. It was only after separating the SSIDs that...

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    I did come across these instructions, however, my Orbi didn't have the solitary, quick green flash that you mentioned. Instead, I had to power on the RBR with the pin pushing down on the Reset button. As soon as the router started and the red light blinked (within a couple of seconds) I pinged...

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    Yes, that is right. The Orbi was functioning perfectly before. I went ahead with the SSID separation not because of any issue with the Orbi but because I needed to do so for my soundbar to work.

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    I’ve tried both. The problem with the extremely slow speed and drop-outs remains :-/

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    I updated my RBR50 and RBS50 to Voxel’s firmware to separate SSIDs as I need to do so to have my Sony soundbar to play well with my WiFi setup. After a few teething issues the SSIDs did separate. However, the 2.4GHz network is now dog slow. A mere few feet from the RBR I am seeing Txn Rates of...
