RBR850 Nest camera disconnections
Hi Any ideas as to why my nest cameras keep disconnecting constantly? I have 2 outdoor ones and two indoor plus a Hello. I tried the settings suggested elsewhere in the forum but no luck. I also ...

You might be into something as I noticed the same. The 2 outdoors cameras are only connected to the 2.4GHz. The regular indoor cameras are connected to 5GHZ
I am using the same security protocol as you.
Will try and let you all know.

As soon as I made that change my driveway camera dropped offline. My back garden one says it is wired which it certainly is not.
The driveway one syncs to the Kitchen router for some reason despite the fact the living room sat is next to it.
I am beginning to think maybe Arlo is the best option and the Pro3 are reduced. I had the Pro2 in Charlotte on a house three times as big and they never disconnected. Had plenty of delay in the footage but at least they worked. It's not like I am protecting the queen's jewellery or something!!

It's not like I am protecting the queen's jewellery or something!!Besides disabling AX mode for 2.4Ghz only, also set CTS/RTS Threshold for both bands to 2347. I run my RBR850 with these settings with my Nest and Arlo cameras (I have both systems, run both Arlo Pro 2 and Pro 3 cameras).
One problem with Arlo is that all cameras connect to the one Arlo base, whereas with your Orbi mesh router you can place satellites to maximize reception. I have to position my Arlo base awkwardly so both front and rear cameras have good connectivity. I even run a second Arlo base (from an older Arlo 2 system) because my garage camera still has connectivity issues to the other base.
- Thanks for the reply. Not entirely sure what is going on to be honest as yesterday after changing those settings I was having buffering issues on my Teams calls. This never happened before. As a result I reverted back to original settings.
I have had problems with my nest cameras with a number of different routers so I think it must be the cameras as the Arlo Pro 2 on this same house never had an issue and the base station was in a kitchen cupboard! The house is 1400 ft with timber partition walls and block cladding so nothing too unusual for UK housing.
I went ahead and ordered a 4 pack Arlo Pro 3 and will report back once installed. I will probably pick up the doorbell as well and that way there is only one system.
I already have smartthings running so Arlo will hook onto that easily
In many ways I prefer the base station for the Arlo as I can buy extra ones if needed for better coverage
Thanks again for all the input.
