Orbi 2.4 set up for WiFi baby monitor
Hello to all. I recently purchased the Orbi RBK50. I am trying to set up my existing WIFI baby monitor. I called the monitor company and they said the baby monitors have to be on the 2.4 network for ...
You could try turning off the satellite, then moving far away from the router ( a couple rooms away), so the 5 GHz signal doesn't reach the monitor during setup. In addition, you could lower the 5 GHz power level to 25% in the Orbi GUI to further attenuate the signal levels. Then restore the power level and turn the satellite back on after setup.
I will give it a try. What is the ORBI GUI and where do I adjust that in the app. Thanks
Assuming the IP address of your router is 192.168.1.1, open a web browser, navigate to: http://192.168.1.1
Login using admin/password or whatever you set for Orbi's admin password.
There is a whole menu structure there for changing settings.
Power level is under Advanced->Advanced Setup->Wireless Settings
