One Camera has weak wireless

SAH1 — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 23:55:13 GMT

I have one camera with very weak wireless signal. It is not possible to attach a cable from my existing base station to a wifi extender or move my base station and get any closer.

Are there any options that don't involve running cables either to another base station or an extender?

Thanks.

you choices are centrally locating the base for good signal to all

or use a second base to expand area

Is it actually causing problems, or are you just looking at the "bar code"?

It hasn't caused problems, but the little bar says "weak" and only has one red bar. I'm just wondering if it will eventually cause problems.

Experience tells me that this "bar" is a very blunt tool when it comes to measuring wifi strength.

Time will tell.
