Blink Camera with Orbi RBK50?
I understand that Blink cams can only work on 2.4Ghz. Is it possible to turn off 5ghz or otherwise get Orbi to work with Blink cameras? Thanks.
This router will steer the cameras on the 2.4 GHz band so you don't need to do anything. I have 4 Blink XT2s setup on my Orbi RBK53.

Not to be too picky, but the Orbi does not "steer" a 2.4G device. The 2.4G device has only a 2.4G radio chip in it. It is unaware of any other radio frequencies. It does not detect the 900Mz portable phone frequency, the 1900MHz cell phone frequency, AM radio frequencies, the 5GHz WiFi frequency, or any other frequency. When you use the Blink App to inform the Blink camera of the WiFi name (SSID) and password, the Blink camera then looks at the only WiFi frequency it has access to (2.4G) and finds the Orbi network.
(Well, that WAS "picky", and sort of a rant. Sorry.)
