Sorry. I think the extender is for our ADT system wich is an Arris Touchstone CM8200. That is what we need the extender for.

the Touchstone cm8200 is a modem only. What router do you have?

We have the Orbi router for our home wifi. The Arris is supplied by ADT and only for our 3 security cams. One camera keeps dropping because its too far away. I think we need the extender for the cameras. Its confusing. The Netgear WN3000RPH extender we have now works, but the red light keeps coming on and our one camera keeps dropping. I'm thinking we need a stronger one. Not sure which one to buy.
Thanks for your help!

If you truly have the arris cm8200, its a modem only. it doesn't have routing, it doesn't have wifi.
Whoever setup the WN3000rph, more than likely connected it to your orbi setup. It could be part of the issue.
You acn always log into your extender and check what signal its connected to.

I am so incredibly confused! The ARRIS router is from our cable company for our cable an internet. The ADT device is a Pulse PGZNG1router that serves our cameras. That is what needs the extender. So sorry!
