I have attempted to connect the extender with no success. Any ideas?</P> Thu, 25 Jun 2020 14:59:39 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1779801#M14706 Smj51 2020-06-25T14:59:39Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1779854#M14708 <P>Why are you installing an extender - to plug the hub into? If you need to actually install an extender, be sure to read the directions supplied with it as well as use the extender's manufacturer's support.</P> Wed, 24 Jun 2020 14:59:52 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1779854#M14708 jguerdat 2020-06-24T14:59:52Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1779888#M14732 I have a very weak signal on one outside camera. That is why I need the WiFi extender. If I move the hub I lose signal on the second camera.

The camera connection has nothing to do with wifi.&nbsp; They connect directly to the hub on its own closed system. Its the hub that connects to the internet. So You need to connect the hub to router or&nbsp; wifi extender with an ethernet port.&nbsp; So try moving the one cam closer to were you put the hub.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 24 Jun 2020 18:33:14 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1779899#M14733 dcfox1 2020-06-24T18:33:14Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1783105#M15119 <P>I have a similar question I have no idea about IT stuff. I want to put a camera at the rear of the house by the pool. I have google mesh systems installed So I have wifi outside and all round the house. My question is will a camera work out there if the hub is at the front of the house but connected to the hub that mess gives me wifi outside.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>hope that makes sense</P> Mon, 13 Jul 2020 10:35:22 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1783105#M15119 Padge 2020-07-13T10:35:22Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1783116#M15120 <P>The cameras connect to the Base unit only ( with exception of few cams )...</P> <P>The base gets connected to your router for internet service, You can not use most of the Arlo cameras directly to your home wifi.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If you really need to expand your coverage area you can always use more than one base unit.</P> Mon, 13 Jul 2020 12:16:21 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Ultra/Do-I-need-to-connect-the-WiFi-extender-to-my-network-before-I/m-p/1783116#M15120 TomMac 2020-07-13T12:16:21Z
