No, it will not, at least not easily. The orbi broadcasts dual band wifi, meaning there is no way for you to choose the 2.4ghz band, you just get whatever wifi band is best. Even when you are on the 2.4 ghz band, it still won't connect for no apparent reason. There are numerous questions about this on the arlo community forum with no real resolution.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should be fine. Makes sure you use a 2.4ghz internet connection and not a 5g and that your smart device is on that same 2.4ghz network connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You may need to temporarily force new devices to connect via 2.4. It's a few steps, but not that difficult. Go to the the Orbi web interface and log in as admin. Advanced tab, Advanced Settings, Wireless Settings. Uncheck the "broadcast SSID on 5G" box. Currently connected devices won't be affected, but new ones will connect on 2.4. If necessary, in your phone settings, forget the network and reconnect. Using the app for your device, connect it to the network. After all problem 2.4 devices are connected, log back in as admin and check off the box cleared earlier. (Remember to forget and reconnect on your phone again if you did it earlier.) Now everything should connect on the appropriate bands. You may need to do this again for problem items in the future. It should help with almost any device that doesn't easily connect to 2.4 automatically.
