Pro 3 smart hub wifi issue

DarrenH — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 08:31:38 GMT

I have been trying to set HomeKit and issue is Arlo Hub sets up its own wifi network (ARLO_VMB_3414109857) but Homekit is already using existing wifi network with everything else in the house. Need to change hub wifi network but the is no option for this on the app.

This isn't a Homekit-specific issue but just the need to understand how the system works. While the cameras connect to the hub via dedicated WiFi, the hub connects to the router using the Ethernet cable. That provides the Internet access required for the system to work as well as the connectivity for 3rd party interaction. Since the router is managing all network connections, both wired and wireless, there's no issue. Homekit as well as Arlo is ultimately coordinated through the router meaning there's no need to try to connect to the camera WiFi.
