    Ok after reading a lot I decided to try setting the power on the 5GHz for ORBI to 25%.  I then went to the ORBI admin website http://192.168.1.1 and viewd the devices - found my iPhone and saw it was connected on 2.4GHz vs 5GHz.  This allowed me to configure the FEIT electric 2.4GHz wifi bulbs.  After I was done setting up all the blubs I put the 5GHz back to full power 100%.

How does one set the power on the 5ghz for orbi to 25% to achive these results enabling me to use the FGEIT 2.4GHz Wifi Bulbs?
