RBK753: Wyze cams (other 2.4ghz devices) can't connect
I'm unable to connect my previously functioning 2.4ghz devices to the new Orbi mesh network. Let's focus on the Wyze cams for now. I have the v2 and v3. I've tried a few things: Cutting the 5ghz...
Please post about this over in the Orbi AX forum:

I have two Wyze cams, both of which commected immediately to my (original) Orbi. The "good thing" about cameras is that they almost always set up by creating a QR code that the camera can scan. Two questions:
- Does the new Orbi have exactly the same SSID/password as the previous one?
I always give each new router the same credentials as the one that is being replaced because (a) all of my devices will simply connect without having to be set up again, and (b) if I decide to "go back", I can simply swap the routers and devices will connect again to the old one. - Is this system in a country that allows channels 12 & 13?
1) prior system was split SSID. So no it's not possible in this case as I'm trying to mesh on the original main 5ghz SSID.
2) in USA and the max channel option I get is 11.
