Wireless camera system causing WIFI disruption and dropping

I put in a Wyze outdoor wireless camera system in September. Ever since, I've had issues with devices on my 5Ghz network hanging as well as the entire WIFI network drop whenever I would try to access one of the cameras.

Does this still happen if you disable the Wyze stuff temporarily?

What do you see when this happens?

Do the wifi LEDs on the R7000 offer any clues?

The logs only show me what is being blocked  not really much else.

What do these logs say?

Have you set up the router to block devices?

These wireless camera's have their own base station and their own little wifi network.

I have an Arlo system that operates in the same way. I haven't seen any problems. Nor do I recall seeing many reports of issues with Wyze devices, beyond the usual 2.4GHz/5GHz confusion.

The usual questions.

What firmware version do you have on the device?

A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?

The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
