Smart pro 7 wifi ext and ring camera

[Chintzo]

---

Hi all.

I have smart pro 7 with the latest wifi extender. The extender in placed to cover my back garden. I have 2 ring cameras in the garden, 1 closer to the house the other approx 12m from the extender. At night the furthest 1 drops signal. This also happens if I swap the cameras over eliminating the camera.

Any ideas appreciated.

Older or weaker devices may not be compatible with the default WiFi settings of EE Smart Hubs. Try setting up Compatible WiFi on the router under Advanced > Wireless Settings > Config > Compatible WiFi (it defaults to 2.4 GHz & WPA2) & connect your problematic 2.4 GHz devices to that.

I did think that but it works most of the time it just drops to a low signal in the early hours. Wasn't sure if the wifi signal gets reduced for any reason.

I use the cameras to capture wildlife at night mainly foxes at 3am. That's how I know it drops out.

I'll have to look at different cameras if compatibility is an issue.

It's worth a try!
