Google Nest WiFi
I just got T-Mobile Internet and I found that my security camera and smart plugs don't work since they don't work with 5G. I have the google nest mesh and I wonder if using the mesh I will be able to have 2.4 in the house, so the camera and the smart plugs work.
The router outputs 5ghz and 2.4ghz so they should be able to connect. Try and seperate the radios into two ssid, one for 2.4 and the other for 5, and see if you can connect them that way. The kvd21 is basically unmanageable they way it's locked down right now other than seperation of radios.
I've found using your own wifi router attached directly to one of the kvd21's ethernet ports works best for connecting and managing your devices. Speedtests are much better as well, using my ol' Asus router I average 135/80 on the 5ghz radio vs the KVD at 75/70 on wifi6 5ghz radio.
Moki, thanks so much for answering, but i am really lost on what you are saying. Do you mean that my cameras should work with the T-Mobile internet, since it gives both 5g and 2.4? I already tried to connect the 2 cameras and both said the same, that they don't work with 5G, so they are not reading the signal for 2.4G. Is there anything else I don't know in the configuration that I should know?

If your devices are not WiFi-6 compatible, you may have to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, so that the devices can find the 2.4GHz band.
