Hey everyone,

I just bought a pack of 2 blink outdoor wireless cameras. I've put one in the chicken run to see if any foxes come around during the night and one in the chicken coop so I can easily check that they all come in everyday.

Unfortunately, the camera in the coop is just outside the Wifi range. The camera in the run is about 5 meters away and works okay (a bit laggy but gets the job done).

What's the easiest way to extend my signal by 5-10 meters?

Cheers!

If possible to run a cable you can always add an AP closeer to the Coop or if that's not possibel you can always look in for a WIFI extender. I am using this and works great.

Have you tried turning up the gain on the antenna?
