Can I use 2 Netgear Base Stations in combination with 1 Wink Hub2 to improve my wifi coverage?

Can I use 2 Netgear Base Stations (VBM3000) in combination with 1 Wink Hub2 to improve my wifi coverage in a poured concrete house with two floors to support 5 Arlo Wireless cameras and 9 Schlage Connect (z-wave) locks?

I receive the following error messages:

"The request timed out."

"This Arlo device is offline" - this camera is within 10 feet of the Wink Hub2

You can use 2 base stations but it has nothing to do with a Wink hub. You simply need to be able to connect each base with an Ethernet cable. However, if the camera's signal to the base is being interfered with due to the Wink hub, something will have to move, whether the camera or the hub. Any strong 2.4GHz signal(doesn't have to be WiFi) can cause interference with a nearby device.
