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 Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi networks:

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