Device can't connect to main network but can to guest network?

Recently changed my router from an Apple Airport over to Netgear Orbi. Overall I'm loving the wifi speed all over my house, but one thing is driving me crazy...   I have three Belkin WeMo switches ...

Hello flppr

 

Have you tried to add the mac address of the wemo devices to the address reservation?

    Thanks for the suggestion but I can't remember :(

     

    I eventually gave up and got a Philips Hue system instead of my WeMo switches, which seems to be working wonderfully.

     

    I'll remember this if I have any future devices reluctant to connect though.
