Camera out of WiFi range

troubleshooting

wireless-security-cameras

i am installing my outdoor security camera on my nearby garage. It is just out of WiFi range by about 2 metres. I am looking at an extender but it must use the same address & passcode as the router to connect. Can any body recommend the best extender? Would the ring Chime Pro (second gen) be the answer? Any advice appreciated!

Hi @user38882. We do not have a specific wifi extender to recommend, but if it is only 2 meters out of wifi range with no obstructions, a Chime Pro should be able to help. This Help Center [article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050893351-How-Do-Wifi-Extenders-Work-) will go over how wifi extenders work to hopefully also help you decide what to use.

Thank you for your reply - a Chime Pro is only GBP49.99. Sounds a good solution. I have subsequently tried a Netgear AC1900 Extender (which uses the same SSID as the router) and that works too - curiously the price is the same! Thanks again
