I paired 2 more cameras ( VMC4030P) to my arlo base station (VMB4000) but when I move them to our adjacent building (on same WIFI SSID and network 2G band only) they show offline. The base station is wired in to our ethernet network. Help?  Am I doing something wrong

The pro2 cameras directly connect to the wifi of the base station not the local router wifi.
If the distance from the base station is too great then the new cameras will not connect.
You may need to move the base closer or use a second base station connected to the same local network either by Ethernet cable or a suitable wifi extender unit.
