I've got both Arlo and Eufy standalone and the Eufy with a home base. So I wasn't sure if the user was referring to the homebase signal or the orbi signal. I've got 2 of my Eufy camera's setup on the Orbi and 4x on the homebase. Problem with it is the 2 on the orbi, don't record to the homebase, they record to their own internal storage (16gb locally vs 512gb in homebase). Clarity from RonaldoL would help to know more details versus me guessing at what the actual setup is.
The Eufy should have its own roaming protocol. You can always try turning the ones you want to connect to a different satellite off and then on again (or trigger a reboot in their menu). Hopefully, it connects to the stronger signal. The other issue might be that what you might consider a stronger signal might not be. If the Eufy camera is outdoors, and there's something in a wall (hvac/brick/siding) that deteriorates the closer devices signal, it might not actually be the best option.
