Foscam C1 Cameras

[Guapo_Apo]

Hi, 

Hoping someone can help me so I can keep my Orbi!

I have several Foscam C1 cameras that operate only on 2.4ghz frequency.  When setting up, my phone needs to be connected to a 2.4ghz signal, but with the Orbi it forces to the 5ghz signal, preventing me from setting up my cameras.  

Is it possible to set up these cameras with the Orbi?  If not I'll have to go a different route...

Thanks!

Turns out the fix for me was not to plug each camera in via cable, but rather to DISABLE Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence for 2.4 ghz band via ADVANCED > ADVANCED SETUP > WIRELESS SETTINGS.  Hope this helps others.

Hi - may I ask what the fix was for this?  Am having the same issue with Netgear Orbi and Foscam IP cameras.  Thanks.

HI,

You need to plug in each Foscam camera, one at a time, into your Orbi router via an ethernet cable and then configure.  

Good luck!
