Can I use my Hotspot to work my base so I can use my cams?

Hi HsMitchell 

 

If you can connect your base station directly to your Hotspot modem via ethernet cable, you should be able to run your Arlo system. Please keep in mind Arlo has minimum bandwidth requirements; All Arlo cameras require a high-speed Internet connection, but each Arlo camera uses a different amount of bandwidth. Bandwidth use is measured on a per-camera basis. If you have multiple Arlo cameras on the same network, you can estimate the total bandwidth use of your entire Arlo system by adding the average bandwidth use of each camera. You can find more info here: What are the minimum requirements for installing and using my Arlo system?

In addition, if no Ethernet connection on the hotspot, you can use a WiFi externder that connects to your WiFi and plug the base into that.
