Impossible to install Arlo Go2 camera on Orbi RBK53
The Arlo Go2 camera needs a phone with the Arlo app connected to 2.4GHz. The RBK53 won’t let me choose the network, and the phone always connects to 5GHz. I’m not sure if there’s a way to temporarily disable 5GHz to force the phone onto 2.4GHz for setup. I tried the setup in the Arlo app, but the camera doesn’t chime when scanning the QR code, so I can’t complete the process. The camera worked before, but after the battery ran out and I charged it with a cable, it disappeared from the Arlo app and I’m trying to bring it back. I already have two other Arlo Go2 cameras working fine. Any help on forcing my phone to connect to 2.4GHz would likely let me finish the setup.
Orbi RBR50
Sorry if I have selected the "wrong" board, or .... I have the "old" Orbi and a satellite, and I have no problem with them for streaming, Internet, and the like. What I would appreciate information about, though, is suggestions/comments on establishing a Home-only network for security cameras. I do not wish their "signal" to reach the Internet, and so on. I would like routers with the absolute widest range, because I need to mount some cameras on a couple of buildings other than the house. Wired cameras are not a reasonable alternative for what I need. Besides suggestions on the best routers, I would appreciate any information about what wireless cameras to use or to not use. The other buildings are fairly close to the house 20-50 feet, at most. Hopefully, I can get routers (I presume I will surely need more than one) which I can keep in the house and will connect to multi-camera central system. Again, I will appreciate any/all comments and suggestions. Many thanks.Cannot sink RBS50 satellite via Ethernet backhaul
Hi, I factory reset the satellite, then synced it wirelessly placing it next to the router. It synced perfectly and they are now both on the same firmware. I now take the router to the remote location connect the Ethernet cable and turn it on. (No switches between the router and satellite). It does not connect via Ethernet, it still connects wirelessly. The Ethernet cable is good; it was working perfectly with another RBS50 that dyed. Please help. What is the proper way to setup this connection via Ethernet backhaul?RBR50: Setup with Verizon G3100 router
I had my Orbi RBR50 with 1 satellite setup with the Verizon G3100 router. A power outage in my home caused a wifi connection problem and now I can't get the RBR50 to work. Because it stopped working, I obtained and setup Verizon's wifi extender model E3200 that is compatible with the G3100 router. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well as the RBR50. I don't want to use the extender, so I need help re-setting up the RBR50. OS Windows 10 home. I don't know how to determine the firmware.Adding 2nd wired RBS50v2 to RBR50/RBS50 results in new Satellite with "Config Sync"
I am trying to connect a 2nd satellite (RBS50v2) to a currently wired RBR50 / RBS50 setup. All 3 have the same version (v2.7.4.24). I manually reset the Satellite. I reloaded v2.7.4.24 over the same version. I am currently directly wiring the new satellite directly in to the router. (I have tried multiple cables.) The Backhaul Status is "Config Sync" and the the Firmware Update can't see the version of the new satellite. The long term plan is to wire this satellite in the basement. Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks!RBS50v2: the blue ring is lit but the app says the router can’t find the satellite
I am adding a satellite to my RBR50 network but it will not sync. I’ve walked through the setup on the Orbi app - The blue ring is lit but the app says the router can’t find the satellite. The blue ring has remained lit for 10 minutes now. Any ideas??
