There is delay when getting the notifications, delay when connecting to the camera live view and when accessing the video in the gallery


The issue happens when the camera and base station are right next to each other. It was noticed in the original cameras bought 4 years ago and the issue persists even today with latest Ultra 2 unit.


Is there anyway to fix this issue?

It is possible for a wifi signal to be too strong (overloading the receiver).

 

It sounds like that might be happening in your case.  When you say "right next to each other" - How far apart are they?

I have never heard of a signal being too strong or the receive causing an issue if it is close to each other. On the contrary, it should work well as there are no issues with Wi-Fi in that case. I have however moved it away to the next room and tested again but continue to experience delays.

It can be - that is one reason why Arlo (and many folks here) suggest making sure the base station isn't right next to the router (rather, it should be 5-6 feet away).

Have you tried rebooting the router?
