I just wanted to share this little tid bit that I have found that has really helped with my wireless security cameras. Along with my two wyze cams I also have a couple of amcrest security cameras on the outside of my house. Ever since I installed my amcrest cameras I have always had one or both of…

I’ve found that manually setting the channel(s) for the 2.4GHz SSID helps with the issue of connectivity. Try setting the wifi channel to 1, 6 or 11. With these modern routers jumping channels to avoid noise & conflicts, some devices may not be able to keep up. Also, with some modems & modem router…

thank you for the insight. For the method you use ( setting channel, and bandwidth ), does that only help Wyze Cam connectivity, or does it help all your Wifi device connectivity ?

All WiFi connectivity becomes more consistent… I have hundreds of clients (both home & office) with various configurations which I have documented (make, model, settings, etc.). With my current configuration at the house (see 2 paragraphs below), I don’t have to modify the bandwidth settings. That’…

I have 18 cameras. 10 at our summer home, 8 at our main residence. At the main residence I have comcast as my provider but I do not have their cable/modem box (terrible). I have a Netgear modem with two Linksys Velop Nodes. I think I need to buy a 3rd mode. This house was built in 1928 so the walls …

Yes, I will be glad to help. Most routers have a web interface you can access at their default IP address values. Netgear & Linksys usually default to 192.168.1.1. So in your web browser of choice, enter http://192.168.1.1 - then enter the admin username & password. The channel settings will be und…

Oh, thank you harveyd1. I have gone into the Linksys web interface under the wifi settings. The wifi mode is set for Mixed and even though there is an up/down arrow there is no other option offered to change it to 20MHz. The Linksys Smart-Wifi does have an option for Device Prioritization. I could…

harveyd1 I have 3 cameras in the Device Prioritization settings area of my Linksys Smart-Wifi interface. There were no options there for me to change to 20MHz. I don’t think that is the answer. Under “Connectivity” I have the following headings and I wonder if I should be making the changes here. …

If you could reply back with the make & model of the Netgear modem (is it a modem router combo unit), that would help. Some of the settings I have described may be in different menus on different make & model units. There may not even be a 20/40/80MHz bandwidth setting specifically listed but it may…

The Netgear is a Voice Cable Modem, model CM500V. The Linksys Velop is a two Node system. Although I would like to add a 3rd Node but have not yet done that.

How are cameras operating so far after giving them priority?
