Cameras and other devices not connecting to satellites

Possible a camera issue as well. It's up to the camera to connect to the wifi signal based on it's own ways of connecting and noise and signal quality. Maybe something the camera isn't handling well.

Yes, I tried every percentage option and it didn’t help at all. In some cases it was worse
I have 3 cameras and a doorbell camera so it appears to just be a ring issue in general with Orbi. They don’t seem to play well together
Ya. there is a long running post about RING products and Orbi. Might find that thread and see if anyone has some helpful info on it.
Try turning off Beamforming? Beamforming can increase the range and hence prevent a device from moving to another access point.
Some devices have a setting similar to "Roaming Aggressiveness". The less aggressive, the more it will hang on to a weak signal. The more aggressive the higher chance it will move to something "better". Maybe your devices have a similar settings?
One thing to remember is that this is not necessarily the fault of the Orbi. It is the device that decides what to connect to. All the Orbi access points are saying is "You can connect here".
