How far can the HomeBase be placed from the router? In theory, the HomeBase can be 50ft from the WI-Fi router. The actual range will vary depending on a number of factors such as the thickness of walls, obstacles inside the house, and the location of the router.
Should I use an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi connection between the HomeBase and the router? If your HomeBase and camera’s range is within limits and the signal is strong, the default ethernet cable connection is recommended. If your HomeBase and camera’s range is outside of limits, you can set your HomeBase to Wi-Fi connection. Of course, the corresponding network transmission will become less stable, and the real-time stream may have more delays.
Does HomeBase have to connect to a router via an Ethernet cable? During the setup process, HomeBase must connect to a router via an Ethernet cable. After setup, HomeBase can be switched to a Wi-Fi connection by goto HomeBase Settings > General > Connection page.
