Idoorbell Fon will not see the WiFi network on RBR850 Orbi.

I am able to connect via wired connection but the operation fails when attempting to switch to WIFI.

Try setting your CTS/RTS Threshold to 2347 to maximize compatibility with older wireless devices:

  1. Go to the web admin portal at http://orbilogin.com/
  2. Click to the Advanced tab, Advanced left menu, Wireless Settings
  3. Set CTS/RTS Threshold to 2347 for both 2.4hz and 5Ghz networks
  4. Press Apply

See if that helps.  If problems still persist, next try disabling AX mode for the 2.4Ghz band:

  1. Go to http://orbilogin.com/
  2. Click to the Advanced tab, Setup left menu, Wireless Setup
  3. Uncheck "Enable 2.4G" under the top Enable AX section
  4. Press Apply

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still did not see the WiFi network.
