Orbi Mini RBK22: Issue with 5G and 2.4G connection
Hi, I have the Orbi Mini RBK22 which include one satellite router. When I connect with my sercurity CAM, which need 2.4G connection, then my other devices (mobile, tablet) will lose video streaming ...

Hi,
It sounds like your secuirty CAM is connecting to 2.4Ghz using an old WiFi protocol I.e.802.11b, which I believe will cause all your other devices connected to 2.4Ghz to also use 802.11b, which will reduce available bandwidth.
If you split your 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz to different SSIDs then as long as your other devices can connect to the 5Ghz you should be all set to go?
Good luck :)

Thank you.
Is there anyway to make the SSID change via APP? Or it has to be done via laptop?
I have tried to connect my camera to guest WiFi, which I learnt from another related post, while it didn’t work for me.
Thank you.

You can temporarily disable the 5ghz SSID by unchecking the Enable SSID Broadcast under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. This willl force all connections to the 2.4Ghz radio. See what this does for you.
