ADC-V723 alarm.com webcams won't stay connected to my Orbi RBR850
I have a series of ADC-V723 cameras. They'll connect to the Orbi network, but then drop off frequently and intermediately come back on - finally just staying off. I've turned off 20/40 MHz co-exi...

To close this thread out: Ultimately, the cameras don't want to connect robustly to the Orbi's single SSID. I tried everything suggested. So, I pulled out my retired Nighthawk R7800 and created a dedicated wife network for the cameras that is only broadcasting 2.4Ghz. This works fine and I'm good with it because I don't need to access the cameras on my main network. At some point I'll have to swap out the cameras or hope for a firmware upgrade to get them all running on one network.
Interestingly, I'm getting about 1/4th the performance from the Nighthawk that I should be getting. I have it wire connected to the RBR850 and set it broadcast 2.4GHz on channel 11. I then set the Orbi to broadcast it's 2.4GHz on channel 1. Don't seem to be getting any visible interference, but see a performance degradation on the Nighthawk only. Anyone have any suggestions on this?
Thanks again,

Andrew, I have the RB750...but own 4 of the exact same model alarm.com cameras. I also experienced this issue, almost to the letter. Changed all of the settings you did...multiple times. Disconnected, factory reset, whisky, repeat. I finally had to add my old Apple Airport Extreme to the ethernet port in the back of one of the Orbi devices to create a secondary wifi network *only* for the camera.
This makes me rather aggravated. The Orbi system would be perfect if it wasn't for this problem.
I am having a similar issue with an iHome smart/wifi plug. Although the plug has only faltered on me twice in about a month. The alarm.com cameras have countless drops per camera, per hour.
