I had no problem with these cameras when I was using my nighthawk 7000. using 2.4 ssid. I assume it has to do with 1 combined ssid. What are my options ? Are there setting I can use to get the camera's to work as the did with my nighthawk ? Are there other camera's that work better with my orbi that I should look at ?
What type of cameras are you using? My Arlo and Nest cameras do not experience any problems with my RBR850, but any 2.4Ghz camera should work just fine with your new Orbi.
What settings, if any, have you changed from the Orbi defaults other than WiFi channel/security? Try going to the orbilogin.com admin website and in the Advanced tab, Advanced...Wireless Settings set CTS/RTS Threshold to 2347 for both bands. I find that this improves compatibility with older devices.
If that doesn't improve things, in the Advanced tab and Setup...Wireless Setup try unchecking Enable AX for 2.4Ghz only. It's unfortunate if you have to disable AX for your fancy new AX router, but your devices that support AX will anyway mostly likely be modern ones connected by 5Ghz (like iPhone 11+).
