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.

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?
