RBR850 / RBS 850 - wi-fi band choice / selection
I have the RBR850 plus 2 RBS-850 satellites. My issue arises from security cameras, specifically Logitech 961-000490 Circle View models. The cameras state they need the 2.4 GHz band - we have the 2.4...

nearer ones connect to the 5 GHz and do not function.
This is categorically impossible. As mentioned in the original post, this camera specs clearly state that it contains a 2.4GHz WiFi:
It cannot detect a 5GHz WiFi signal. It cannot connect to a 5GHz signal. Does the Orbi 'app' or the Orbi web interface indicate that these cameras are connected at 5GHz?
FURRYe38 is correct that the current 850 firmware supports creation of a WiFi SSID (called IoT) that can disable the 5G frequency. This may solve the problem, but it is not because the cameras were connecting at 5GHz.
Both the app and the web interface show the cameras connected to the 5 GHz band
This is the camera, correct?

If this device is connecting at 5G, it's a miracle
Yes, that's the one. Doesn't make much sense really
