.....is it safe to say that replacing the Linksys Velops with teh Orbi, I will be able to connect automatically to all my 2.4 devices?
I doubt if anyone here is familiar with all of your devices. If you search the archives you may be able to get advice on some of them.
In general these issues are down to sloppy coding by the people who write the software to support these IoT devices. Some seem to be incapable of writing stuff that can work around the coexistence of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wifi with the same SSID.
People here havce devised ways around that.

Another question: can i keep the same network name and password? with over 26 devices, I dont want to have to cahnge all of them
That works most of the time, but the various Mac addresses can confuse some wifi clients.
thanks for the response......i am in discussions with Jandy concerning teh issues....will see what they come up with
Oh, heavens, YES, use the EXACT same WiFi name (SSID) and password. I have kept the same credentials through three router replacements. If you want to back, just plug in the old router.
What would prompt some to change from Velop to Orbi?
my Velops Router continues to receive internet from my cox modem and speed test show 50-95gbs down and 9,9 up while connected to the lan cable 7” away from modem and router…..across the other 2 satellites, they keep dropping off line…..Wireless connections are around 30 down adn 9 up…….called cox and they say I have everything goo…..so I think the router is bad.
