There are a bunch of topics in this post.
- Modem and Internet speed are irrelevant to getting security cameras connected.
That is entirely internal to the Orbi network.
It may be relevant to how successfully video feeds can be viewed remotely. - 150' is a LONG distance to maintain a good WiFi backhaul signal.
I am impressed. Ordinarily I would not expect such a connection to be "good". - 75' is also a substantial distance for a WiFi connection.
Is it correct to assume that the Orbi "app" is being used to manage this Orbi network?
If so, when you open that camera in the Device Manager and tap on the camera, the app should display the "Link Rate".
If that amount is great enough to provide a video feed, then the number of "arcs" displayed on the WiFi connection should not matter.
