Hotspot with Outdoor Cam

[cjsolomon]

The new outdoor cams, do they connect to WiFi or a hotspot by chance, the distance with the station and having a mesh WiFi system is a bummer. It doesn’t reach where my other Cam is outside.

No, they can only connect to the base station. Someone had added an extender to the Wishlist

Range Extender for New Outdoor Cam

was about to ask the same question. I didn’t realize the base station was tethered to the router. My router is in the basemet and a decent distance from where I want to install. I have a range extender I use, it has a ethernet plug, can I use that instead of the router?
