      hey thxs… i wouldnt call it a fail but connection to more distant cams struggle to pull up consistently, esp if other devices are consuming bandwidth. i have a two story house. router is upstairs in an office. 2 sats are on the first floor. simplisafe outdoor cams want 6mb each for upload. i have 40+ of upload bandwidth… simplisafe solution is to put an extender in to help the connection at 2.4 ghz… i just want to get a low cost no bufoonery netgear solution that is compatible with my orbi mesh. so looking for advice which product others think will accomplish my need… open to ideas… thxs!

        should also add… simplisafe indoor cams want 2mb for 1080 rez… no mention of their outdoor cams requirements until i talked with them… ugh… so i currently have 4 outdoor cams and 1 indoor cam set to 480 to ease the upload… i sure would like to get to 1080… i know my wifi and isp speeds are good… so hoping an extender will improve my situation.
