I have Arlo Pro VMB4000r3. I need a new roof (hail storm damage in Florida on 3/27/19) and I'd like to get a metal roof but hear from people that it drastically cuts wifi signals. None of my cameras are mounted on the roof, they're all on stucco under the eaves/soffit. Does anyone out there have a metal roof and Arlo cameras? Thanks in advance for any help!

The roof shouldn't present a problem as long as the signal isn't trying to actually go through it. The stucco, however, can be an issue due to the wire mesh holding it in place. If it's working now, though, I don't see any issue.

Thank you for your answer.  And yes, I do have issues with my farthest cameras due to the stucco and poor signal strenth, but they do work and I've had them for 2 years.
