I installed 4 Arlo Pro cameras and a base station connected to a Netgear Orbi satellite. So far so good. Got a second base station to improve the range for two of the cameras. All set up and synched. Base station connected to other Orbi satellite. Problem is that the cameras connected to the new base station drop offline constantly. Base station is online with a strong connection but the cameras keep dropping. Have tried all troubleshooting imaginable. But here's the thing. When I unplug the first base station, the second base station cameras work just fine. So both base stations (and their attached cameras) work, JUST NOT AT THE SAME TIME. Anyone experienced this or have insight? Negtear support appears clueless about it.

I run two bases on an Orbi and Sat....so that's not the issue.

Wondering if the second base may be to close to the first along with the Sat. ( some weird cross interference)

What is the distance?

 

I also might try and reboot both the base and Sat to see if it makes any difference

Thanks. Good to know it can be done. They’re on different floors so that’s not it.  Bizarrely, after putting all 4 cameras back on the first base (successfully) I put a different camera on the second base and it seems to be working. Arlo is gaslighting me.

Glad you got it working with another camera. I have 10 cameras on 3 base stations - one base attached to the Orbi router and one each attatched to the two satellites. I am having no problems.
