ORBI and Amcrest/Foscam
I recently had verizon switch my older coax for ethernet so I could switch to ORBI. The ORBI system worked great and I get excellent coverage.ut f
The only strange occurrence is with AMCREST...
If you put the older wifi back online and they still have problems conneting it it, I presume there maybe problems with the cameras.
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Try changing the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.
Thank you. The Foscam's are all working but I stil have problems with the Amcrest for some reason. I set up port forwarding on the router. I can easily see the port is open on canyouseeme.org. But when I try to view them on blue iris.. nada. I know how to use blue iris and have not experienced this before. I ditched the verizon router. Other than that one quirk, the Orbi system works perfectly. I will ditch the old amcres cameras and pick up a few Foscams. I am not using many cameras.
thanks
Good Luck.
