    What have you tried doing to fix it?

    there's a bunch of posts on here about setting up orbi with IoT devices and doorbells.

    Some regions found that the Ring doesn't work on channels >11.

    https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Ring-Door-Bell/td-p/1144881

    Some have luck with disabling the 5ghz ssid broadcast in the orbi. 

    Others cheat and just use a backup router running the same ssid/password as the orbi for setup. Once its setup, you remove the backup and turn the orbi back on. I've done this before when mesh first came out. I haven't needed to do it in a while though. 

     

    Which ring do you have specifically?

    What firmware is on your orbi?

    Which region are you in?
