**Arlo smart security system with 5 arlo cameras (vms3530)** with **Powerline WiFi essential (PLW1010)**

Hi,

I have 5 Arlo cameras in my home. One camera doesn't get the wifi single so I bought the Powerline WiFi essential to extend it. Now I have Wifi in that room, but on a different WiFi network (two wifi networks - one from the router and one from powerline) so as we can connect to the internet, I can't connect the camera.

How can I fix it?

You can't extend the Arlo WiFi but you can use an extender to reposition the base so all cameras are in range. If that is impossible a second base would be needed.

But the base is connected to the router aand the cameras are connected through the home wifi network. Therefore, if the wifi would reach that room the camera would be able to connect. That is why I bought the powerline plw1010, to extend the wifi reach. The problem is that instead of extending the same wifi network, it creates a secondary one. If it would be the same the camera would connect. Am I wrong?

No, the wireless cameras connect via a dedicated WiFi to the base. It has nothing to do with your home WiFi. The Q cameras use you home WiFi but that's not what you have.
