Ring Live Stream Doesn't Work With Orbi
I have tried everything to get the Orbi to work correctly with Ring doorbell live stream. I tried the latest firmware / downgrading / installing the custom firmware from Voxel. I then tried everthing...

I now know its 100% the orbi. The ring extender pro works perfect. I also tried just hooking up an apple airport extreme and setting that as a dedicated access point for the Ring Door bells. They now also work that way. Everytime I switch to the Orbi network its a constant spinning circle or the stream doesn't load. Tried factory defaulting, tried Voxel, Tried disabling MMU or renabling / turning on and off fast roaming, beoforming etc.. Tried all these combinations, & it still isn't reliable. Please netgear fix this in the firmware. The orbi isn't handling Ring products correctly.

I was on the latest firmware 2.5.1.16. I also tried Voxel V9.2.5.1.17SF-HW. It doesn't work correctly with a Ring Doorbell Gen 1. It just doesn't & I can't recommend this product for that reason. The point of the product is better wifi everywhere. This is not the case.
