New RBK852 connection to security camera
Hello, Put in a RBK852 Saturday. Everything is working great except 2 of my 3 security cameras, ADT security them put in, are connecting to 5Ghz instead of 2.4Ghz. I have tried different channels...
Is there a reason why there suppose to connect to 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz? 5Ghz performs and is faster than 2.4Ghz.
Try turning down the power on the 5ghz radio on the RBR...
- At 5ghz it takes forever to load images and if at all. Connection and streaming is very slow.
Should be the opposite really.
What is the distance between the cameras and the RBR or RBS?
Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs 5Ghz wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
You'll need to reboot the cameras to see if they re-connect to 2.4Ghz signal.
The distance is around 45 feet.
can I setup my old nighthawk in tandem with the Orbi? I know I can assign the 2.4 channel on it. That way each will have its own dedicated router...
