Hi There,

What distance can base stations be from each other?

I have multiple base stations, as each is hard wired to the switcher, would there be interference, (EM), from the WIFI generated by each base station?

My understanding is that the base station wifi will mesh with each other and with any router wifi on your network.
Best practice is to keep them at least 6ft away from each other.

I'll give it a try. Using the Wifi analyzer, I'm seeing the units strength. So yes moving them them away from each other 6' or so makes sense. Thanks, I'll report my findings.

As a side note...

My 4000 base is about 6 feet away from my main router, not issues...

But I needed to get a longer cable for my 5000 base. 6ft was not far enough so I picked up a 12 ft cable and that solved the problems ( Ultra cam dropping now and then, believe it was the 5ghz interference ( as a Pro2 had no issues at longer distance ) )

Thanks for that.
