Thanks for ur response...when u say same 2.4 ghz name and pw, you mean old router to be active? When I connected the Orbi, I disabled the old router wifi...

Disabling the wifi is not enough... you have to actually bridge the old router (or take it out of the architecture).
Is this what you meant to say that the old router is still upstream of the Orbi AX?

sorry. i was using Google supplied modem **bleep** router using its 2.4 Ghz to connect the such devices. With Orbi Mesh RBK 852, i disabled Google modem **bleep** router wifi. when i tried to connect Ringpro camera doorbell, it started hanging.

Does it hang if you disable AX mode on the RBR?
