Already have an Arlo Q, how to link Arlo add on

Mrsmartin — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 21:27:05 GMT

Trying to add our new Arlo add on to our already existing Arlo Q. It is saying to link to a base station or a router. We don't have either of those Netgear products. Will it link to our Verizon router? It is showing the flashing blue light when I do the steps to link it to our Verizon router, but when I go to add camera, it just shows our Arlo Q. Do we need to have a Netgear base?

You'll either need an Arlo base station or a Netgear R7000 router to connect an Arlo Wirefree camera. It won't work without one of those devices.

Q cameras connect to your home wifi system

Arlo cameras connect ONLY to the Arlo Base ( Arlo Base sets up it's own wifi network just for that alone )
