ARLO routing

MikeDn — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 06:37:28 GMT

In my setup I have two routes: fast (expensive) and slow (cheap). Currently all default traffic is using cheap-slow route. I would like to route my Arlo to a faster route. What config I sould use in my router? (I'm asking what destination host/port I should prioritize)
Thank you.

As long as the router has enough speed, it isn't going to matter to the Arlo base unit...

Arlo requires a min of 1Mbs upload ( tho IMO, over 2Mbs solves some possible issues )

This is not about router but the route.

I would like to give a best path for ARLO. This hopefully will minimize delays in viewing live feed.

I would use ping or nslookup to get the IP address of your Arlo server (depends on where in the world you live) and use that if you can't just enter arlo.netgear.com and let DNS figure it out.

I think it is more than just that.
