Exploring Wyze Cam v3 Outdoor Installation and WiFi Signal Solutions

Hi all, I’m in the process of setting up my Wyze Cam v3 in a couple of outdoor locations, and I’m encountering some challenges with the WiFi signal. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences regarding this setup.

First, I’d like to share my current situation. I’ve installed the Wyze Cam v3 in two outdoor spots, but I’m concerned about the WiFi signal reaching these areas. The signal seems weak, and I’m worried it might not be reliable enough for continuous monitoring. I’ve considered using a WiFi range extender to boost the signal, but I’m not sure which one would work best with my setup.

I’ve done some research and came across the TP-Link TL-WA850RE N300 range extender. It seems like a solid option, but I’m curious if anyone here has had success with it or if there’s a better alternative. I’d appreciate any recommendations or tips on how to ensure a strong and stable connection for my cameras.

Another thing I’m pondering is the placement of the range extender. I’ve read that positioning it halfway between the router and the camera can help optimize the signal, but I’m not entirely sure how to test this effectively. I’d love to hear if anyone has a tried-and-true method for determining the best placement or for testing the signal strength.

Additionally, I’m curious about how others have handled similar situations with their Wyze Cams. Have you found any specific settings or configurations that improved the signal quality? I’d also be interested in knowing if there are any potential issues or drawbacks to using a third-party range extender with the Wyze Cam v3.

Finally, I’d like to thank everyone in advance for their insights and advice. Your experiences and recommendations will be invaluable as I work to ensure my Wyze Cam v3 setup is both reliable and effective.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
