Connecting IP camera to Deco M9 impossible
Hello,
I bought a wifi mesh system Deco M9 and I am really pleased with it. Easy to install and working fine.
Only problem is that we have an IP-outdoor camera (not TP-link but Foscam) and this camera only works via 2,4 Ghz wifi. However, I cannot connect the camera to the Deco, because when I check the connection via my phone (I have to connect the camera through the app on my phone) the Deco shows only connection via 5.0.
I do not see any possibility to change the connection to a temporary forced 2.4 Ghz for connecting my camera.
I also tried to link the previous wifi-extender (Netgear WN2500) which worked with the camera to the Deco (not an ideal situation but if this would work with the camera, ok) but I cannot connect the Netgear to the Deco, I also tried with a lan-cable between the two.
There is also no WPS-possibility on the Deco....
Can somebody please help me and explain how I can connect the Foscam?
Thank you!

@Kevin,
Problem solved. For some reason when I plugged in the wire to the IPCam, Deco App on iPhone does NOT pick it up. I have to use an app from Foscam to scan and connect to the Deco Wifi (must turn off Deco's 5Ghz Wifi at this step). Once Foscam is connected to Deco Wifi, the rest is easy.
Regards,
Rick

maybe you can try and nail down the issue by setting up the guest network and turn off 5ghz for that network. see if that connects.

Thanks for your advice but the problem is that the camera works with 2.4 only, so I need to bypass the 5.0ghz somehow. The Devo is standing at approx 3 meters from the camera.

Barry how do I disable 5.0 in the guest network?

I cannot see an option for (en)abling 5ghz or 2 4, that's the problem. I made screenshots of the advanced page-options. I did not change any of the proposed options, except quick roaming. Sorry that's Dutch, I hope it makes sense anyway (ingeschakeld = enabled, uitgeschakeld = disabled). Did not change anything else in the app as well.

Can you or somebody else help me out to find the on/off for the two wifi-bands with this info?

Hi, it's under Wi-Fi settings, not the Advanced settings

Hello Barry, sorry to keep bothering you....
I do not see any options for Wifi-setup in the Wifi part of the app either...
But when I look into the help-section of the app, I only see help-issues mentioned for the Deco M5. We have a Deco 9. I don't know whether the app is ment for both types of Deco or that I need another app for the Deco M9 Plus system. I do not see any other app in the Google Play-store though...

Hi, maybe the M9 doesn't have the feature yet. Not sure. App version I am using is 1.7.7.
This is what my wireless settings screen looks like...
