Extender not working correctly
I have recently purchased the Range extender (adapter) listed above. It is connected via ethernet to my router which functions well and is located in my living room and produces (dual band) readings ...
Problem solved. I only had to change the connection on the camera from the original wifi (router) to the ext network created by the Netgear extender.
Guess that should have been the first thing I did but sometimes, we have a brain fart!
Anyway, thanks for the help.

The new problem is that all of the alarm sensors, cameras etc need to be on the same WiFi network, or at least I think that is correct.
I would investigate that. Not knowing what these cameras are, it is hard to know what you need.
If they are cloud based devices, then it should be the internet connection that matters, not the local wifi network.
All cameras/sensors are Ring products which connect via WiFi signal.
This might help:

WHAT ARE WI-FI RANGE EXTENDERS? WILL THEY IMPROVE THE WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTION TO MY RING™ VIDEO DOORBELL?
A wireless repeater is a stand-alone unit that extends the range of your Wi-Fi signal by repeating the signal over a greater distance. They are simple devices that are easy to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, position your repeater somewhere near your Ring™ to ensure the best possible signal. We recommend you configure the repeater with a unique network name (SSID) and then connect your Ring™ Video Doorbell to this unique network name.Problem solved.

Well done.
That's the advice they give in the thing I linked to.
