Orbi mesh won’t work with security camera
I bought an ORBI RBR10 mesh with one router and two satellites in August 2020. Yesterday I attempted to set up a blurams security camera. It says it is not compatible with 5G. I believe my mesh is dua...
- Thanks all. It appears the Orbi was connecting but the camera just was not transmitting data. However, after moving the Orbi satellite closer and going through the setup another few times the camera started to transmit data and now seems to be working fine. Using the Orbi app to see what devices were connecting to the router and the satellites did help me start to confirm the camera was actually connecting to 2.4 and not 5G.
Thanks for your help!

Orbi is dual band so I can't see a reason the cameras won’t connect to your network’s 2.4GHz wifi. Or do they connect? I have several devices that are 2.4GHz only and connect to the Orbi wifi without any problems (my wifi thermostats, weather station, irrigation controller, and SONOS for example). These devices automatically select and connect to the 2.4GHz band and so should your cameras. I suspect a different issue is stopping you from being able to record. Good luck!
