Can't send pictures to a digital frame with the RBR850 and 2 satellites
I purchased 2 identical digital frames which only work at 2.4 Ghz. I'm using the RBR850 router with 2 satelites. I couldn't send any pictures to the frames no matter what I tried. My brother took one...

How do I separate 2.4 and 5 Ghz on the RBR850 so that I can choose 2.4 Ghz on the digital frame?
You can't separate the 2.4 and 5 GHz. And there is nothing to choose on the digital frame. If it can't connect to 5GHz, it will connect to 2.4 GHz.
How do you set up these unnamed digital frames? (I assume that you have contacted the people who made these devices.)
If you have to use a mobile phone, one way to set up an IoT device is to disable the 5 GHz connection on the phone. That will force it to connect to 2.4 GHz. When the frame is up and running you can restore the phone's 5GHz connectivity.
Would really help to know the specific brand and model of digital frame.
And michaelkenward is correct. Orbi models have no method to assign different SSID's to 2.4G and 5G. (The "latest and greatest" model does feature a seprate 2.4G SSID just for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, but it costs $1,500 - wow!)

Hi CrimpOn,
Here's the link to the digital frame.

I just spent $1,000 6 months ago for the RBR850/2 satelites. Not ready to spend another $1,500. They are crazy expensive.
Thanks

Oh, my. Unusual to see a product with 30% 1-star reviews. (and only 23 reviews total).
I have yet to find a User Manual for the product.
I think I may have figured it out. I have 2 routers in the house. The Orbi is on the second floor and the tp link in my recording studio, where I had the frame. As soon as I connected the frame outside the studio and in my living room, everything started working. I guess the frame was having difficulty connecting to a router even though it showed it was connected to the Orbi.
If you're wondering why I have 2 routers, one is for the internet and the other for my ethernet/ Dante equipment.
Thanks!
