AC1900 C7000v2 - Trouble connecting Blink camera

Hello. 

I purchased a blink Camera from Amazon and I am unable to connect it to my router. Super frustrating! I have contacted Blink and they keep telling that the reason for blink not finding my network is because my 5ghz could be masking the 2,4 gHz ( i have NO IDEA what this means) and hence blink may not be able to read it. What does it mean and how do I fix it? does it mean I need a new router? this is exhausting....

    Amazon is just throwing things out there. 

    I've attached my blink setup to an orbi setup, to an Arris ax11000 setup, rax200, cax80. and more. I've used mesh/smart connect, etc. They all connected. 

    What blink camera and blink module do you have? (hint the camera connects to the module and the module to the wifi)
