Hello,

 

I have a multitude of Tapo Cameras in my home. I have 2 Tapo C420s, 2 Tapo C320s, and an indoor Tapo cam. One of the Tapo C420s is located towards the back of my house and is the furthest camera away from my router (TP-Link  Archer AXE75) and due to its location, the live view is often very laggy or doesn't load at all and the camera will go offline sometimes due to the poor signal. I do not have the option of relocating my router and I cannot run a physical cable from the extender to my router. 

 

I've noticed that despite the RE550 extender being in the same vicinity as the rear Tapo camera, the camera connection is still very poor. According to the Tether app, the WiFi signal is good and the location of the extender is good as well. But I've noticed that there are 0 clients connected to it. Is there a way to get the camera to connect to the WiFi extender? Will I need to disable OneMesh?
