Smart Plugs and The Orbi Router
Regardless of all the Orbi Fan Boys this system does not play well with many 2.4ghz smart plugs, security cameras and anything else limited to 2.4ghz. The ONLY way I have been able to utilize my 2.4g...
I have a box full of smart plugs, cameras, and other gizmos that people have reported problems with:
- All but one of the smart plugs connected fine, although I am not impressed with some of the app software.
Amazon, Aukey, Belkin, Eufy, Feit, JinVoo, KASA, Leviton, Meross, Sonoff, Teckin, Wyze.
My personal favorite is the TP-Link KASA. - Every 2.4G WiFi camera has also connected immediately. Open the smartphone app. Create a QR code. Show the QR code to the camera, and "Done."
If it's under $30 and available at Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, Best Buy, Staples, etc. I'll get one and report in two days. (That's where all those gizmos came from. This hobby is a LOT less costly than playing golf.)
