Need some help with Orbi and Ring Doorbell 2

Hi everyone.  I know this subject has been talked about on different posts in the forum but I'm trying to post a new one because I don't know if there has been a clear cut solution.  Like many others, my Ring Doorbell does not work how it should with Orbi.  Ring says the solution is to put in a separate wireless AP because Ring Doorbell and cameras won't work well with a mesh network.  I've read about setting up port forwarding for Ring.  Some people say that is a solution.  If it is, can anyone provide step by step instructions on how I should go about doing this?  I've also disabled 20/40Mhz coexistence but that did not work.  Any help would be appreciated.  I've just made a bunch of changes to my services including home security and thought Ring was a good solution.  Something very simple has turned in to a headache.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks everyone in advance!
