The router is your main firewall.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>2) The base requires you to plug it into an ethernet port to get an internet connection. If your modem has a built in router or has ethernet ports that allow devices to connect to the internet, it should work, but I'd have it behind a router for better security.</P> Mon, 08 Oct 2018 15:33:42 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro/Setting-up-an-Arlo-Pro-system-with-a-modem-instead-of-router/m-p/1639125#M44776 pc2k17 2018-10-08T15:33:42Z
