Using with a hotspot

Buford16 — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 21:24:05 GMT

I have no internet service to my cabin, except through a Verizon hotspot - Jetpack MIFI 6620L. Can the Arlo base station communicate with the jetpack through an R35 to USB conversion cord? Is there a better way for the base to communicate to the jetpack? ... or is ther NO way for this to work.

Thank you,

It's not going to work via the hotspot directly unless it has an ethernet port.

What soemone else has done is used a wifi extender with an ethernet port... wifi extender running hooked into the mifi unit

Or there are some celluar modems out there with ports..

Thank you Tom... your answer is helpful and should get me looking in the right direction. (The Chat person at Netgear was NO help - and they were supposed to be Arlo specific.)
