Outside WiFi cams ignoring sats & going to router?
I just got a rbk23 kit (1 rb20 router & 2 sats), my house is 2000sqft single family, my outdoor wifi cams(1 on each corner -4total) are 2.4/5ghz WiFi... They keep connecting to the router in middle of...
I will disable what you suggested, but some questions:
Where do I go to “lower the strength”?
What the best way to determine which 5ghz isn’t being used? It’s set to a number like 48, there was like 4 choices to pick from.

Adanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try them all. However use a wifi scanner to see other neighbors near by to see what there using. Should matter for cameras. I presume they are only using 2.4Ghz?
- Is there an iOS scanner you recommend?
My cameras support both 2.4/5ghz, which prob makes it even more confusing for them with Orbi. I wish I could force connect them to 2.4ghz only & specific sat per camera. - IPv6 is set default to “disabled”, should I enable or leave it off?
If your ISP doesn't have native IPv6 support, leave it disabled.
