I synced all cameras no problem, the only one that's remained connected is the one closest to my apartment. All others have dropped out and won't reconnect.  Two cameras at the rear of the apartment building are within 25 metres of the base station, similar to the single camera that is working. Two others are approx 50 metres from the base station and do not work.

 

The system seems pointless if the cameras have to remain 10-15 metres near the base station.

50m away from the Base station AND going thru apartment walls would be a tough deal for any wifi router ( which basicly the Arlo base is ) as 2.4ghz can be block by some building materials.

 

Your option would be 1) move the Arlo base to a more centralized location of the cameras 2) add a second base at the far end of the apartment to extend the coverage of the Arlos. ( no limit to number of bases on any service plan )
