Just so aware, the Extender will not function with the cameras. Arlo base sets up it own wifi system to talk to the cameras only.
If your extender has an eithernet port on it, then you can reloate the base to a more central area of your location to get the best possible all round signal ( from base to cameras ). Also the extender should be able to have at least 1MB thru-put upstream for allowing the base to function properly ( min upload bandwith )

I would just like to go on record saying that this DOES NOT EXTEND THE RANGE OF THE BASE STATION'S SIGNAL. It extends the range of your ROUTER only. The base station has the same range as it always did; it has just been moved to a new location. Netgear also recommends (YouTube video, tip #2) that you get a second base station. This is also not an option as Netear does not sell the base station. Only camera kits that include a base station.
I know that the system uses 5 GHz wireless signals becuase I can see them on my phones wifi finder. Has anyone been able to clone and extend this signal?
Now that would be a solution.

That is well known.... what we were referring to was simply as you stated, extend the range MEANT moving the base to a central location for reaching distant cams...maybe not exact english but I think what we were doing was pretty clear.
Or using an extender on a second base .
And yes , they don't sell bases separate ( don't know why ) but many buy a 2 or 3 pack of cams and then go back for another set ( and end up with two bases )
As to the 5 ghz, your wrong .....( only the Q cams can use 5ghz range )
