Kuna randomly drops wifi. Attempts to reconnect fails. But later reconnects on its own!?!

Drop down menu does not display my system RBR 750.  My security camera Kuna operates on the 2.4 band and when connected it works great, but at random times it drops wifi connection for hours and then it reconnects automatically, wth, despite many attempts to reconnect myself.  I have 2 Kuna porchlight cameras doing the same exact thing, and each time it doesn't recognize the wifi and its password.  I have one of the sattelights 10 feet away with a strong signal.   My other 2.4 device in garage Rachio (water sprikler) never drops.  Kuna suggest to change SSID on Orbi.  Ugh!  Helppppp.

Yes, it is frustrating that Netgear does not maintain the list of products in that drop down menu.

 

You are also correct that changing the WiFi SSID is not going to solve anything and will put you through a lot of effort for nothing.

 

When the camera 'drops wifi', does that mean that the camera no longer appears on the list of attached devices?

 

Can you explain more about how you attempt to reconnect the cameras?  Many of my cameras are set up by putting them into 'setup mode' by pressing the reset button, then having the smartphone app generate a QR code for the camera to take a picture of.
