When I first installed my Arlo doorbell I didn't have a hub so I just connected it directly to wireless and it was great; really fast connections, great video quality, and fast notifications.  I installed a hub and moved the doorbells to the hub so I could get HomeKit support, which was the primary reason for replacing my Ring doorbells.  My ring doorbells I had to use home bridge to get the devices/notifications in HomeKit.  

 

Since I moved to the hub the video quality is poor - lots of jerky video, slow notifications usually, etc.  - I've tried moving the hub elsewhere in the house but have two video doorbells on opposite sides of the house.   Also I noticed the Arlo app has no "device health" like Ring that shows the actual wireless strength being received by the doorbell.  

 

Anyone know how I can check the wireless strength of the doorbell as I move the hub (eg RSSI)?  

Can I get HomeKit support with the doorbells connected direct to Wifi but with the hub still on the account?

There is a signal strenth indicator on the app - the wifi icon shows 1, 2, or 3 bars.
