How to fix Arlo doorbell Wi-Fi interference

 

Identify Wi-Fi Interference Causes

 

  • Check for nearby devices operating on the same frequency, such as microwaves, cordless phones, or baby monitors, which can interfere with Wi-Fi signals.
  •  

  • Examine the physical environment for obstacles like thick walls, metal objects, or large appliances that can disrupt the signal.
  •  

  • Look for a crowded Wi-Fi channel due to multiple wireless networks in the vicinity, which can cause signal interference.

 

Improve Signal Strength

 

  • Locate your router in a central, elevated position, away from walls and other objects, to ensure optimal signal broadcast.
  •  

  • Minimize the distance between your Arlo doorbell and the Wi-Fi router, as shorter distances typically ensure stronger connections.
  •  

  • Consider using a Wi-Fi range extender to boost the signal strength in areas with weak connectivity, specifically near your doorbell.

 

Change Wi-Fi Channels

 

  • Access your router's admin interface to check which channels are in use and determine if they are overcrowded.
  •  

  • Select a less congested channel, typically available via the settings menu, to reduce interference and improve connectivity.
  •  

  • Reboot your router to apply the changes and enhance the Wi-Fi performance for your Arlo doorbell.

 

Update Router and Arlo Firmware

 

  • Regularly check for firmware updates on your router's website, ensuring you have the latest enhancements and fixes.
  •  

  • Use the Arlo app to verify if there are any available firmware updates for the doorbell, which might address connectivity issues.
  •  

  • Perform updates promptly to benefit from improved functionality and reduced interference potential.

 

Consider a Dual-Band Router

 

  • Invest in a dual-band router, which operates on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, to allocate your doorbell to a less crowded frequency.
  •  

  • By connecting your Arlo doorbell to the 5GHz band, you can reduce interference typically found on the 2.4GHz band.
  •  

  • Ensure that the 5GHz band is supported and within range of the Arlo doorbell placement for optimal performance.

 

Reset Wi-Fi Connections

 

  • Perform a factory reset on your Arlo doorbell if persistent issues exist, resetting its connection settings.
  •  

  • Reconnect the device to your Wi-Fi network, following the recommended setup process in the user manual.
  •  

  • Verify if the reset and reconfiguration of the device result in stability improvements and reduced interference.
