Hi

 

i just wonder is there any minimum distance between other WiFi devices and Arlo server?

Or is that something you had found out by your self , depend on the others WiFi devices?

 

Arlo is using IEEE 802.11n , how many 20 Mhz channels or just one 40 Mhx, or other?

Is it possible to change channels, as can do with WiFi router and pc's? 

To decrease interference to other devices.

Yes, Arlo is using standard wifi/channels.... Also the base if near enough to a router will sit on the same channel as the router. ( you can't really change this )

But, Arlo engineers have stated that there are less problems when the main router and base units are near each other.( on same channel )

 

I have two bases, One on each side of my main router ( each aprox <6ft away, the lenght of ethernet cable ) and have no issues at all.

 

Any interference seems to happen more to the camera side as the power output from the camera is lower than the base.

But you can check for possible interference with a wifi scanner ( both android and ios have a free app )
