Cameras out of network range--Netgear range extender
Hi all, I have four Arlo cameras stationed around my house, and two of them are far enough from the router that they cannot get a signal. When I sync these cameras, a green square appears on my ...
You can configure the extender to broadcast the same SSID as the router. Or you can configure the cameras to connect to the extender's network.
Great, those options sound very promising. How do you reconfigure the extender to broadcast a different SSID?
Connect to the extender's network with a laptop. Then open a browser to mywifiext.net. Go to wireless settings and change the SSID and password to match your router.
Tried this and it did change the SSID but did not do much for the cameras. Another poster said that a network range extender can't improve the signal strength for the cameras because the base station creates its own wifi network independent of the modem/router or extender. Does that seem right?
