Question

I have the basic Arlo system with 8 cameras. I have great internet yet camera connectivity is poor. Some are 20 feet away. Any suggestions and would the new systems be faster and handle the distance better? Thanks!  

Answer 1

What type of internet do you have and download and upload speeds do you have? What type of wifi signal are you getting on each camera?

@on6300 thanks for the response! I have Xfinity DL is 450-500 and UL is about 20. Some of the cameras are 2 bars some are 3.

@wolk23359 are you using the xfinity gateway or your own router/wifi?  

---

@on6300 the Xfinity gateway. I believe it is an Arris (sp).

So you have gateway that has built in wifi. Have you tried using own wifi router?  

---

@on6300 no. But does the WiFi matter? I have the base station wired to the router and I thought the cameras connected directly to the base station.

@wolk23359 i agree that the WiFi doesn’t matter at all regarding the cameras connectivity. Have you tried moving the base station closer ?

@wolk23359 they connect via wifi to your base station but if you are getting 2 to3 bars that should still be good.  

Answer 2

I thought the max was 5. Guess you don't have the Pro2 system as I do.  

Answer 3

I have the pro 3 with 6 and they work great
