Does Orbi RBR 40 switch between 2.4/5ghz for device that is stationary?

I have a camera doorbell that is giving me some problems.  The doorbell company says it is because I am on a mesh network and that the wifi to the doorbell is switching between 2.4/5ghz. When I look on the orbi app, the doorbell is always connected to 2.4 ghz.  I think my doorbell company is wrong but wanted confirmation that Orbi RBR40 does not randomly switch between 2.4/5 for a device that is stationary. Thanks.

  • NO, Orbi doesn't switch, the device would switch. Only if the device supports both 2.4 and 5Ghz. If it only supports 2.4Ghz then it only connects at 2.4Ghz.
