Arlo needs to solve connection signal strength issue by providing a base station extender, similar to what is done with router extenders. I have 5 cameras one is at the front door of the house and shows an acceptable connection signal strength. The 2nd camera is mounted on the back side of the house and shows very weak strength signal. I have tried moving the base station through the use of a router extender but did not solve signal strength issue. When a move the base station closer to the back camera, then front camera shows weak signal strength. Back camera is about 40 ft from base station with house construction being wood frame with vinyl siding. I can only imagine what signal strength is if house construction involved brick or thick stone walls.

You can always use mutli bases... it is the only true way to expand coverage.

There is no limit on the number of bases used on any account level.
