Yeah but at the same time many many people say not to update the firmware beyond 4.0.21 because of issues ...
Eh? mine was originally set up using an iMac and I had no issues.Whoever said Macs were easier is lying,

The app is actually very good. I’m not sure why you scanned the QR code because the app will just see the access point and you can adopt it. It’s really easy to over-complicate Unifi. It’s actually dead simple.
Just realised I've been an idiot and was reading the Wireless Experience column as the signal strength column. I guess my problem still exists though
What's the actual problem? Don't read too much into the wireless experience figure, mine is currently telling me that my Nest thermostat and iPad have a score of zero but they've both got full connectivity and are working perfectly.
Using another AP as a repeater is a option but I found that didn't work too well. My Sky HD box especially would not work when it connected to the the AP that's connected wirelessly.
If, despite the wireless experience number the camera is working OK then I'd suggest you do nothing for now.
Okay, so I've ran a cable from Bedroom 4 to Bedroom 2 via the loft. I've moved the downstairs UAP-AC-Lite to Bedroom 2 powered over PoE by the switch in Bedroom 4. This seems to work and the camera out the front now works okay. In the kitchen downstairs, where I removed the UAP-AC-Lite, I fitted a UAP-AC-LR. This works okay-ish, but only if I have the 2G transmit power set to medium. If I set it to low (the same as the other APs for 2.4 GHz band), then the camera drops offline. I'm confused by this as I figured that for a camera, surely it's the strength of the signal from the camera to the AP that matters for recording video, not the transmit power.
Anyway, for now, I've had to set the Transmit Power for the 2.4GHz band on the kitchen AP to medium.
Thanks, makes sense. I'm still not happy with the signal strength the rear garden camera is showing. Even though the AP is about 10 feet away, it has to travel through an external wall which I think is causing all of the issues. Are new builds filled with wifi destroying stuff for insulation?The camera still needs to be able to hear the access point. It’s quite possible it’s putting out a lot of transmit power but has weak antennae and the total transmit signal is power plus antenna gain. It’s called antenna reciprocity!
I’d show mine but I’m not allowed to....
