I recently bought the Arlo pro 2 system and really love it!
My only issue is that I live on the 3rd floor but I have both cameras on the first floor over looking the front and back yards.
I had to plug the base station into my router on the 3rd floor and as a result the cameras have very poor signals to the base station.
Since I also have the NETGEAR AC2200 Mesh WiFi Extender on the first floor, can I plug the base station directly into the WiFi extender?
Is there anything special I need to do to make this work?

You should be able to unplug the base from the router and plug it into the extender and have it work.

Thanks for your reply. I had originally plugged it in but nothing happened. I tried another cable and waited a VERY LONG TIME and finally the Arlo base station recognized the WiFi extender. Thanks again.
