Needto disable 5Ghz

Devices not staying connected.  Device support only offers disabling 5Ghz.  Device is Amcrest doorbell.

My Ring doorbell does not offer ONVIF video.

Hi @Merantza 

I am not sure disabling 5GHz will solve your problem.
Nest Wifi currently selects to band that is supported by the device, in this case, your Amcrest doorbell will always connect to a 2.4GHz. Do you have enough signal?

According to the Nest Wifi support page

How does my device choose a band?

Devices that support only the 2.4 GHz band (an older phone, for example), will automatically connect to the 2.4 GHz band. Most dual band devices that support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz will automatically pick a band based on different factors like signal strength and guidance from the mesh Wi-Fi system.

Adding a "Guest" network seems to have solved the issue.

If you confirm that Google Nest Mesh systems set up "guest" with only 2.4 GHz that may help many others with the same issue.  Thanks for the quick replies!
