Q: QuestionMy network security type is WPA2-AES, I also have SSID 2.4GHz and SSID 5GHz would the cameras work with this security type ? I bought a set of cameras and they require WPA2-PSK so I wasn't able to install.

Asked 5 years ago by Katvilla.

• A:Answer Here are our system requirements: A non-cellular 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi network (name and password) and high speed Internet connection (DSL, Cable, Fiber) with a minimum 2 Mbit/sec upload speed. Unfortunately, due to high latency issues, we do not recommend using Blink with Satellite providers. ​Please note that Blink is unable to gain internet access on networks that require authentication through a third-party login website.
