RBR50 - Connecting a device to 2.4GHz only

How can I make sure that a device I'm pairing with my Orbi Router (RBR50) is only connecting to the 2.4 GHz Network (not the 5)? (This device needs to be paired with the 2.4 GHz wifi.) Thanks, Ste...

I would contact D-Link support or maybe post over on there forums and ask about 5Ghz suppor. It's a newer camera and with 1080p, might have support for 5Ghz which is really needed for that kind of resolution.

The D-Link Omna 180 Cam HD, 1080P Indoor Home Security Camera, Works with Apple HomeKit (DSH-C310/AN) seems like a nice one, but I can't tell if it supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz.  It has 2-way audio, which is important for me.

Yep, if I go with that camera I'll check with D-Link first.

    I'll see if I can dig up some info on 5Ghz cameras as well.

    SH-C310 (Onma), DCS-935L, and DCS-2630L are the only ones that support 5Ghz.

    Yep, the first one is the one I was looking at (Omna).  I wrote these down and will check out the others.  Good angle of view (180), but poor App reviews.

    It also looks like Amazon also has a new security camera that was fairly highly rated:  Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera.  It supports networks that use the 802.11g/n (so I believe this includes the 5 GHz networks, but I'll check with Amazon).  Small angle of view (120).

    Logitech Circle 2 will also work with 5 GHz.

    I'm checking on Arlo Q (Netgear), just sent them an email.

    Thanks for the update.
