@chopstix Thanks. Sounds like a plan, I'll see how the next one is laid out.

Thanks for the replies.. let me see if I can clarify some info

-everything is wireless - their router is the Verizon ASK-NCM1100E its a cellular router
-When 20' up in the air with the camera 1 is, I get 2 bars on 2.4 and doesn't even see the 5g, this also where I placed the repeater

-I would have to venture back out there to test it out.. its an hour away and I think these camera's are coming down soon anyway. I will test it out when there next to figure out and do some lessons learned.
-early on I could have run cat5 but not now.

thanks for the info.. just trying to make this work better on next setup. Real issue is the main router is in metal trailer and like 100' away. I really need a way to extend the range from that instead of trying to boost garbage from far away in the building. Any advise on that is appreciated also.

I have two RLC-823S1W camera's, both are Wifi. These are on construction site there router is not super close. One camera is attached to the local router and connects up fine all the time. I have a wifi repeater in the same outlet as camera 1. Camera 2 is in room next door and uses the repeater wifi. When I get on camera two it shows two bars on the signal strength from repeater. When I'm on the extended wifi network on my phone and onsite everything works just fine. When onsite and then I turn off wifi (on my phone) and then my phone would use cell service to get to the internet and be routed through local router and then repeater it will work right after I set it up with lots of reconnects and when I get home and attempt the same thing, never connects.. maybe once in a blue moon will it connect up again.

Ideas on what can cause this ? nothing else is on this network, so its not bandwidth... any settings on the repeater that might decide to block it ? I just cant make the router to repeater work consistently but the camera that is direct to their wifi works fine. Before you ask the second camera cant even see the orig router, so definitely needs the repeater.

the repeater is

TP-Link AX3000(RE715X)

ideas ?
