Hello, 

 

I have three wired access points around my property and get excellent WIFI signal for all of my devices (there are quite a few - sonos, nest cameras, WEMO devices).   I have FIOS, so my bandwidth is sufficient and adequate.    I added a 2nd Arlo basestation to an airport express that is wired to my barn, to have an Arlo 2 camera back there.  The other three cameras are connected to a basestation connected to another Airport router (wired) not far from the barn.   Those three cameras work just fine - but the other setup and single camera is very problematic.    Only about 1/2 of the time I pull up the cameras in the app, can I see the 4th camera.  And even then, after watching for a few seconds, it loses the connection.     Has anyone had success configuring multiple basestations / cameras for reliable operation?    I thought perhaps something was interfering with my other devices, but then can't understand why the first basestation/3 cameras work just fine.    Thanks in advance for any advice/help!

I run 3 bases right now without issue.... so it's either a interference issue or just plain defect in one of the items... or even the AP.

 

If you are able , I might swap either camera or bases around ( one at a time ) to see if the issue follows the items or if it is location.  It will prob be a pain to narrow down what is causing the issue

 

Obv I'd do the camera first as that is the easiest.
