The Arlo base was designed to hook into the internet via an ethernet cable ( to your router ).

It requires a hookup this way and can not link wireless to a hotspot.

There are two possible solutions tho.... 1) get a wifi hotspot with an ethernet port 2) use a wifi extender (with ethernet port and thruput more than 1mb/sec min ) to hook the base into. The extender must be compatable with your hotspot.

Sorry, but I believe if you read the box, it says wire free cameras on the back.... shame on the seller if you were misinformed
