Question

Good morning fellow Ring users. I'm running into latency issues with several of my cams that connect via Wi-Fi extenders. I'm considering a mesh system, but not sure if it will resolve the issues. I have 2 cams, approx 100' from the extender, and the extender is about 60' from the router in the house. My house is lathe and plaster, so signal strength outside is weak. Would a mesh system help extend my range? Any other suggestions? Also to note, both cameras are on the opposite side of a garage with extensive electrical, that seems to also block good signal. Any help would be appreciated.  

Answer 1

If you have coax cable at both locations, get some MoCA gear and use that for the back haul to set up a proper access point where you need it.

@mountfort1339 I don’t, single AP at the literal opposite end of the property.  

Answer 2

You may want to investigate a high power router some thing like a Asus Rt AC 88x with the distance you're covering a mesh system may not be ideal

@fingered4548 that’s kinda where I’m heading with this but thought I’d ask.

@fingered4548 Catalano do you know if they’ll work in basically a straight line?

@webber55748 what to you mean?

@fingered4548 Catalano basically do the “pods” connect with each other? Meaning say one hard wired to the router, another wireless say 50’ away in the same building, another 50’ away outside, and a third 50’ from that one. Ultimately the furthest being 150’ from the AP. if that makes sense.

@webber55748 yes that’s how they work works perfectly

@sanborne they’re definitely on the short list
