Security camera can't connect to Orbi AX6000
I recently installed an Orbi AX6000 (RBR850). As soon as I installed it, my outdoor (alarm.com) security camera stopped working. I called the security company (Safehaven-ADT dealer) and requested for...

End result...
I had to take the Orbi satellite closer to the camera (inside the garage) in able for it to connect. It's strange how Spectrum's router can easily connect from the same position where the main Orbi is located.

Neverthess, I appreciate your help!

Is this a 2.4Ghz camera or dual band?
"He moved the camera closer by 6 feet and the camera worked." So it works near the RBR and doesn't connect at a distance?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
try changing CTS values are changed to 2347 under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

The distance is within 30 feet.

I will try these settings and let you know.

Try moving the RBS out a bit farther as well. 30 feet or more is recommended.

"Try moving the RBS out a bit farther as well. 30 feet or more is recommended. "
Done.
BTW, there's no option for 40 MHz. It's just either put a check in the box "Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence".

Remove the check from the box and it sets 40Mhz only.
