Can an Arlo Q camera be synched with an Arlo pro base station rather than using wifi?

My Arlo Q's are really struggling on wifi, even though they ar in the house and not that far away from my modem, while my Arlo pros work great connected to teh base even though they are at the far end of my yard. so I'd liek to get the same connectivity with the Arlo ! as I do with the Arlo Pro.

Positioning so the WiFi signal isn't being blocked by mirrors, walls, ductwork, etc. may be needed.  Could be just a couple of inches but testing would be needed.  Also, the WiFi from the base is pretty strong while specific routers may have lower signal strength, making positioning even more important.  WiFi extenders could be used to boost the signal if necessary.

 

In any event, the Q cameras can't be used with the base.
