Camera keeps disconnecting at night

Night vision drains extra power from the camera, which weakens the WiFi connection if your router is far away. Move the camera closer to your router, or turn off night vision to see if that helps.

This is a power issue, not a WiFi issue. At night, the camera's infrared lights turn on to see in the dark — those lights use a lot of power, which leaves less power for WiFi. If your camera is far from the router, the weaker WiFi signal combined with less power output causes disconnects. The fix is simple: get the camera closer to the router or boost the signal.
