RBR50 - Connecting a device to 2.4GHz only
How can I make sure that a device I'm pairing with my Orbi Router (RBR50) is only connecting to the 2.4 GHz Network (not the 5)? (This device needs to be paired with the 2.4 GHz wifi.) Thanks, Ste...

It's the Yi Dome Camera 1080p HD Pan / Tilt / Zoom Wireless IP Security Surveillance System with Night Vision, Remote Monitor with iOS, Android App - Cloud Service Available
Sold by: YI Technology Model: FBA_93005
I didn't realize that about these security cameras. I had an LG system that worked fine with Orbi. Unfortunately LG discontinued their camera.
Do you know which cameras work with an automatic system like Orbi (e.g., Logitech, ZModo; I assume Nest does)? I'll try to check into this when buying another camera.
Thanks.

My 3 D-Link DCS series cameras work with my Orbi system. DCS-933L, 936L and 960L.

Thanks I'll check into those too. I hadn't heard about them.

There 2.4Ghz cameras. I believe there is one or two thats 5Ghz they have.

The D-Link Omna 180 Cam HD, 1080P Indoor Home Security Camera, Works with Apple HomeKit (DSH-C310/AN) seems like a nice one, but I can't tell if it supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz. It has 2-way audio, which is important for me.

I would contact D-Link support or maybe post over on there forums and ask about 5Ghz suppor. It's a newer camera and with 1080p, might have support for 5Ghz which is really needed for that kind of resolution.

Yep, if I go with that camera I'll check with D-Link first.

Thanks.

Yep, the first one is the one I was looking at (Omna). I wrote these down and will check out the others. Good angle of view (180), but poor App reviews.
It also looks like Amazon also has a new security camera that was fairly highly rated: Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera. It supports networks that use the 802.11g/n (so I believe this includes the 5 GHz networks, but I'll check with Amazon). Small angle of view (120).
Logitech Circle 2 will also work with 5 GHz.
I'm checking on Arlo Q (Netgear), just sent them an email.
Thanks for the update.

And thanks for your help.
