Tips for optimal Wi-Fi performance
The distance between Wi-Fi devices can aect the Wi-Fi signal:
• Maximum recommended distance. We recommend that you place your oodlgiht within
300 feet (90 meters) of your Wi-Fi router. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is
reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and the
router.
• Minimum recommended distance. To reduce Wi-Fi interference, allow at least 6½ feet (2
meters) between your camera and any Arlo cameras that you install.
These materials can reduce Wi-Fi signal strength if they are located between Wi-Fi devices:
• Unusually thick walls and ceilings
• Brick
• Concrete
• Stone
• Ceramic
• Glass, especially mirrors
• Metal
• Large quantities of water, such as the water in a sh tank or water heater
Connect your mobile device to your Wi-Fi
network during setup
If you’re connecting your camera directly to your router’s Wi-Fi network, it’s important to
understand that your mobile device must connect to the same Wi-Fi network as the camera
during setup.
Your camera can connect to a 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Many routers broadcast Wi-Fi
networks in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, so your phone might connect to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi
band. During setup, connect your phone to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, then connect your
camera to that same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Find your Wi-Fi network name and password
If you’re not sure about how to nd the Wi-Fi network:
• Look on your Wi-Fi router label.
Many routers have a label that shows the Wi-Fi network name, which is also called an
SSID. Your 2.4 GHz network name might have a 2, 2.4, or 2G at the end. Your 5 GHz network
