**Existing network consists of three TP-Link Deco mesh routers broadcasting on 2.4/5/6 with the main router upstairs in the middle of the home and the two satellite routers on each end of the home.**
I recently purchased an Argus 3 Pro (x4) with home hub mini system. It was my plan to install these camera outdoors and connect to my existing network. The home hub mini is wired to the main Deco and I matched the cameras to the hub mini without issue and played around with battery life, lights, IR, etc for a couple of days. Everything worked fine until I took the cameras outside and placed them near their intended install points. Then nothing. I realized that although they were within only a few feet of a satellite, they were shown as offline in the Reolink app and were not shown as visible on the network. Further investigation revealed they're never visible on the network as a connected device (although I do have other ONVIF indoor cameras on the network which are viewed through Agent DVR). If I relocate them closer to the hub mini they begin to work again but still don't show on the network.
Long story short...do the cameras actually connect to the hub mini and not the network? If so, their range is severely limited and it's not even worth having them if I can't cover the side yard or back of the house. If they are supposed to connect to the network and the signal is then routed to the hub mini, why are they not showing up as connected? How does one get around this problem? I have tried to connect them through both 2.4 and 5 but the results are the same. I can find nothing in the documentation that explains or addresses this issue.
