Add support for USB WIFI Dongle to the Arlo Pro Base Station

Would be great if the Arlo Pro Base Station was able to support a USB WiFi dongle so you could connect it to your WiFI Network rather than using Ethernet.

 

With the addition of the Siren feature being able to place the Base Station without the requirement of running an Ethernet cable to it would be extremely valuable.

 

Most dongles use generic settings/config so it should be pretty easy to incorporate a set-up menu into the Firmware/Software or even if Netgear produced a specific dongle to for use with it.

I dont want the unit somewhere visible like next to my modem. Ideally I'd put it somewhere hidden so intruders can't just smash the device. I don't want to have to run ethernet to where the device is... Absolutely crazy there is no WiFi support in 2019. Almost made me no buy Arlo.
