Tips for optimal WiFi performance
The distance between WiFi devices can affect the WiFi signal:
•
Maximum recommended distance
. We recommend that you place your WiFi
router within 300 feet (90 meters) from the Arlo Video Doorbell. The maximum
line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major
obstruction between the doorbell and the router.
•
Minimum recommended distance
. To reduce WiFi interference, allow at least 6½
feet (2 meters) between your Arlo Video Doorbell and any Arlo cameras that you
install.
These materials can reduce WiFi signal strength if they are located between WiFi
devices:
• Unusually thick walls and ceilings
• Brick
• Concrete
• Stone
• Ceramic
• Glass, especially mirrors
• Metal
•
Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater
