However, the router must be powered so you'd need a UPS to keep it going during the outage.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>B) Yes but for simplicity you would want to use the same SSID and password as your normal WiFi so you don't have to change the network in the doorbell settings.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 08 Mar 2022 15:25:32 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Video-Doorbell-Wire-Free/Arlo-Video-Doorbell-AVD2001-Power-Outage/m-p/1855113#M1838 jguerdat 2022-03-08T15:25:32Z
