rbr750 won't allow my 2.4ghz gadgets to connect - annoyed - help?

I have 3 "icsee" PTZ cameras that ONLY work on 2.4ghz and will not connect to 5ghz that orbi seems to ONLY provide. When trying to re-set up the cameras, the camera app specifically says it ONLY workswith 2.4 and tells me I can go to my wifi settings in my phone and change it from 5ghz to 2.4. However, when I try this, it does show that my phone is on 5ghz BUT it will not allow me to change it to 2.4.
I'm not a techie. I'm 54 years old. I want to plug things in and have them just work. LOL They worked FINE until I switched my router to an orbi. Now all of my security cameras won't connect. I have great whole house wifi coverage but half my things don't work anymore. >:-(
