I see people having issues with the Ring devices trying to connect to the wrong band (5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz) and failing.
Is anyone here using Ring devices with the Orbi system? People post all the time about success with Ring products, which makes the situation hard to understand. The people who post about problems are not imagining them.
Any tips/tricks in doing that successfully? I searched here and found old posts describing using Telnet and changing Orbi settings. Is that needed with the latest Orbi firmware? Splitting 2.4G and 5G bands should not be necessary. Plug, the newest RIng doorbells support both 2.4G and 5G bands.
Ideally, no tricks would be needed and the Orbi would automatically use the 2.4 Ghz bands w the Ring devices. Does it?
The issue is not Orbi "using" bands. There seem to be two common problems (1) completing the device set up, and (2) opening a camera for "Live View".
You are entirely right to be aprehensive.
