2.4 GHz and RBR50 Orbi-suggestions not working
Hello I have an ORBI mesh network RBR50 with 2 satellites. I’m trying to get the Govee app working but it currently won’t recognize/connect to my wifi. I have tried all the suggestions on this forum:...
I was in the same situation. I was trying to attach a Govee smart bulb (H6008) to my Orbi mesh (RBR50). I turned off the 5 GHz SSID broadcast and turned the power down to 25% (i.e., minimum). I changed the channel for the 2.4 GHz network (from auto). I "forgot" and then rejoined the network from my iPhone. Nothing helped. I waited several hours (with the new Orbi RBR50 settings) and it still did not work.
Then I set up a Govee account on my phone and tried again and it worked immediately.
I have no idea if it was a coincidence or if it changed something behind the scenes (the app did not report any changes or firmware updates), but the success was so immediate that I thought I should share. Hopefully, this helps someone else.
Also, I am running Router Firmware Version V2.7.4.24
I will try to attach some screenshots of the router settings that worked for me.
