Dear community,

 

I'm looking for some help on how to connect 2 Arlo indoor 2nd Gen at home. Where is the issue ? On the Wifi extension as I have placed one in the living room, which is close to the WiFi box and the signal is good.

We have a garage, located 2 floors down (one appartment is between the garage and mine), where I want to put the second camera as it happened to be opened from time to time. 

I have tried to extend my WiFi connection via an extender but the connection is not powerful enought to go through the walls.

Do you have a suggestion on maybe installing another arlo system in the garage connect to a sim card ? How to extend better the wifi connection, I'm trying anything.

 

 

Thank you 🙂

You could try powerline networking - it is a bit hit-or-miss, but if the garage power is on the same circuit breaker box as your apartment it is worth a try.  Something like this:
