Multi Camera & Hub issue connecting to outside wifi access point

TtotheC — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 09:47:50 GMT

I have a smarthub and several cameras, pro 3. camera & essential outdoor cameras.

I was having range issues, and thank to help on this forum, I have now installed an access point.

It has been configured etc and is working and giving good signal where we need it. However, we can't connect the 2 cameras to it that require the help of the access point.

Installed is a TP-LINK OMADA EAP650-OUTDOOR DUAL-BAND INDOOR/OUTDOOR WiFi ACCESS POINT

The home signal runs 3 cameras, but the other 2 would need to connect to the access point, but they won't connect? You can see the the wifi option but it won't connect.

I assume that if the camera isn't connected to the smarthub that you can connect to a different network if configured to do so?

Hopefully someone can help and can understand my explanation ha ha

Yes. If you see "Library" in your app menu, the process is described here:

If instead you see "Feed" and "Dashboard", then look here:

You can also remove the cameras from your account, do a hardware reset, and add them back.

Just to clarify this - are you wanting to connect your Essential cameras to the outdoor access point? The Pro 3 cameras have to be connected to your Arlo hub.
