I’m setting up a UniFi Express 7 and while everything has been very smooth so far, I found that my Ring Doorbell seems completely unable to work on the new WiFi network.

I managed to solve this by turning off band steering. Remarkably, this fixed the problem almost instantly, with the doorbell now operating on 2.4GHz.

My solution is to create separate WiFi networks:

• A network without band steering for devices like the Ring doorbell
• A main network with band steering enabled for all other devices
