Wifi Mesh System RBR850

I am a novice at this and have a basic question re: 2.4gHz usage of my RBK852 Orbi wifi mesh system.   (It was purchased 3 years ago and works fantastic).   I am considering purchasing a water detection system for my home that only works on 2.4gHz.   Is my system compatible with this product?  Can I purchase this product knowing it will integrate into my wifi system seamlessly?  

I don't know how to check to see if my system is operating on 2.4gHz or 5gHz.

Thank you!  KernJim

    The RBK850 kit has 2.4ghz and 5ghz. It should work fine. sometimes you have to do a few workarounds for knockoff/generic stuff but its rare and doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to. 

    so should be fine
