ORBI WIFI 6 struggling with security cameras to connect all
Hi Netgear users I am in NZ and have around 20 security cameras, 3 different models all the same make. They seem to struggle to all stay connected. Indoor and outdoor cameras. House is only 10...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
20 cameras is a lot.
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Hi Netgear users
I am in NZ and have around 20 security cameras, 3 different models all the same make. They seem to struggle to all stay connected. Indoor and outdoor cameras. House is only 100 sq mtrs so not a band width issue I don't think. I never have more than 28 devices connected at any one time as some cameras are battery and only start up when triggered by an event (17 battery CAMs). The rest are plugin. For this type of application do I need some sort of extender? It should be able to handle this amount of devices, shouldn't it?
