RBS40V and 2.4Ghz
I have a RBR50, RBS50 on Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.104. I also have RBS40V on Firmware Version: V2.6.2.4_1.0.1. When devices connect to 2.4Ghz on RBS40V, devices stop working. When I switc...
The device is a Yi Outdoor camera. if it is connected to router RBR50 or RBS50, I can view the camera. The moment it gets connected to RBS40V, Yi app, says camera offline, but I do see it in the attached devices in RBS40V table.
Thanks
Oh, my. The only Yi camera in my "box of stuff" is an indoor model. (Bought it when someone complained that "it is impossible to connect this camera unless I can split the Orbi SSID's or turn off the 5G radio". Which was not correct.)
Had it connected to my router and satellite, app works fine. Connected it to my RBS40V and..... the app still works fine. It got the same IP address (from the DHCP pool) every time I moved it. The Yi app has a "Home" and "Away" setting. Mine is on "Home". I shut down the app and when it was restarted, there was a message about having "trouble reaching the server". The message went away and the camera was on-line again. Closed and opened the app again, but no message. Just video.
All of my regular IP cameras have IP addresses "assigned" in the LAN Setup table. (This Yi camera is not 'permanent' and gets an IP from the pool.)
Probably would not hurt to reset the RBS40V (not "Factory Reset"). Since Orbi reports the camera connected with an IP address, that's probably not going to do anything. But I am totally at a loss for a solution.
It is so frustrating not to be able to reproduce a problem. Sorry.
