Hello, I am hoping that maybe someone has solved this before and has some ideas to try.
About 6 months ago I finally upgraded from my OnHub Tp-Link router to a Google Nest Home Mesh Wifi setup and since then I have had constant problems getting only one of my Nest cameras to stay connected. I have moved the points all over the house several times but eventually the camera will lose it's connection and then can never be found again until I perform a factory reset on it. I notice the camera is always on the 5 gHz band, and even though it has a mesh point in the garage (which the app says has a great mesh connection) the camera will often 'forget' this point exists an attempt to connect to the main router on the 5 ghz. My phone will get right on the access point and shows a very strong signal when I am on a ladder just by the camera. My most recent setup has a point in the garage so less than 25 feet and one wooden wall between them. It has made the camera essentially worthless. I have several home hubs, a yale lock, nest doorbell camera, etc that all work perfectly without any issues. It's just this one wired floodlight camera that won't stay connected. I had worked fine for almost a year before I change the wifi routers.
Tricks or hints? I tried to go back to the TP-Link router (security be damned) and it looks like it can't even be set up through the home/wifi app anymore. 😞 This mesh system feels like such a downgrade. It might be better in a few of the rooms but I don't feel like I can connect as far away from my house as I used to be able to do.
Thanks in advance!
