Orbi and Ring products issues
I recently switched from one router + repeater to the Orbi system. No installation problem. When I first connected my Ring Doorbell and 2 Ring Spotlight cameras, no connection issues. One camera ...
As I mentionned a year ago now, moving to a different mesh manufacturer fixed all my issues. For the past year, no fiddling or anything like that, it just works, as it should be expected.
My new mesh has one unique SSID for router, satellite and 2.4 and 5. All Ring equipment connect to the 2.4 with no confusion.
At the end, is it a mix of issues between Orbi and Ring, making it not to work at its best, and such issue do not show on what I have? No idea, but as mentioned earlier, manufacturers should verify that their equipment works on mesh network, OR mention an incompatibility if the problem is not on their side (similar: I saw a manufacturer of wmart plugs specifying which mesh network were not compatible).
Agreed. :smileywink:
