Reolink E1 zoom won't connect to Orbi satellite.
Hello all, I am at my wits end. I purchased a Orbi mesh wifi system (simultaneous 2.4 and 5ghz). It has a main router and two satellites. The system works perfectly except for getting cameras ...
Yes, the router and every satellite broadcast the identical SSID for both 2.4G and 5G WiFi. And, if the guest network is enabled, they also broadcast the guest SSID on both 2.4G and 5G WiFi.
I have three models of Reolink WiFi cameras, and all connect to Orbi satellites. (one at 2.4G and two at 5G).
My guess is that there is "something in the way" of the WiFi signal at that specific location. Metal foil insulation? Brick chimney? Concrete wall? Metal drain pipe in the wall?
Since the camera connected to the router, it might be worth some experimentation before permanently mounting the camera.
For example, take it close to the other satellite, plug in the power, and see if it connects.
If that works, experiment with different locations in the general area of the desired permanent mount.
