Does this camera work with any Wi-Fi range extender (ex. Nighthawk AC2200 X4S Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender #EX7500)?

I’ve a Nighthawk #RAX120 router positioned about 100ft from the camera’s site, but without straight sight, with three old fashioned brick & mortar walls among them turning it a Wi-Fi blind spot.  What could be the solution to have this camera reliably connected to Wi-Fi?

Thanks,

Any extender will work as long as the signal between both the router and extender as well as the extender to the camera are good. There's nothing special needed.

Wanting to use a CC Vector Wi Fi extender to connect cameras in another building few hundred feet away. Will it work??   Wi Fi extender manufacturer states if the cameras can work on a subnetwork it will be fine.........

The camera simply needs Internet access. If any device connected to the extender has Internet access the camera will work fine.
