WiFi Extender with Tapo Cameras
Recently got a set of the C402 cameras with the H200 Hub, setup cameras without issue but after putting them up I found one has almost no connection and another is very weak.
I'm unable to move the router so decided to use a range extender to fill the gap in coverage but I'm unable to find where to connect/change these two cameras to a network. The extender is working as it should and I'm getting good signal where the cameras are now.
Everything I was able to find looking into it prior shows I can use an extender for cameras but I'm unable to find anything to explain this. Am I missing something or overlooking a setting somewhere?
Any help or information is much appreciated.
Thanks
Please double-check the model of your camera. The Tapo C402 uses 2.4GHz WiFi, it does not require a hub.
Suppose it is a Tapo C420 KIT, they're the TP-Link SubGHz devices and connect to each other with a different wireless frequency instead of the standard 2.4GHz WiFi.
Tapo C420 connects to the hub via SubGHz, hub connects to router via 2.4GHz WiFi or ethernet. If the camera signal is weak, please move the hub closer to the camera. The range extender can be placed between the hub and the router to make sure the hub can receive a stable network signal.
