Tips for optimal WiFi performance Place your Arlo Pro 3 Camera in a location with a good WiFi signal to the SmartHub. The distance between WiFi devices can affect the WiFi signal: • Maximum recommended distance. Place your camera a maximum of 300 feet (90 meters) from the SmartHub. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and SmartHub. • Minimum recommended distance. To reduce WiFi interference, place the SmartHub 6 feet (1.8 meters) away from your WiFi router. Place your Arlo Pro 3 Cameras 10 feet (3 meters) away from the SmartHub, and allow at least 6½ feet (2 meters) between cameras. The following materials can reduce WiFi signal strength if they are located between WiFi devices such as your SmartHub and Arlo Pro 3 Cameras: • Unusually thick walls and ceilings • Brick • Concrete • Stone • Ceramic • Glass, especially mirrors • Metal • Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater Get Started 12 User Manual
