Orbi and Arlo Pro 2 Camera

Question

I have the Orbi router with 3 Satellites connected.&nbsp; I purchased the Arlo Pro Wireless Camera system and have 5 cameras hooked up to it.&nbsp; My question is :
Is there a way to hook the Arlo Base station into the entire Orbi network so the cameras run off the wifi, not just off the base station.&nbsp; I tried attaching the base station to a satellite with an ethernet connection, now I have the base station hooked directly into the Orbi router with an ethernet cable.&nbsp; I have cameras in an area that has excellent wifi reception, but is too far from the base station to get a good signal.
&nbsp;
Thank You

Can I purchase a second base station or Netgear wifi extender to add range to the current syste?.&nbsp; Unfortunately all my cameras cannot be captured by the wifi of just one satellite. Cost is not an problem, I just want to solve the issue.
&nbsp;
Thank you

Hi TropicalDoc,&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thank you for reaching out to the community for suggestions. Unfortunately, this configuration would not work. However, if most of your cameras capture good Wi-Fi in an area where one of your satellites is set up, you may want to connect your Arlo&nbsp;base station to that satellite.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

For other configurations from other Arlo community members, I suggest you look into the Arlo Community:&nbsp;

Hello TropicalDoc,&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Yes, you may use a second base station to extend the range of your cameras as mentioned in this Arlo thread.&nbsp;
