Usu, the base is plugged into a router or switch, but with no router but only wifi, you will need a wifi extender with an ethernet port...

hook the extender into your wifi and then the base into the extender's port

How are you connecting to the internet? We need to know that before someone can help you.

Thanks Tom Mac and brh. The short answer is no I cannot, without using something like an extender....

I wish Arlo would wake up to the fact that not all of us use a router...

I use a mobile data 4GX modem by ZTE with a sim card in it ....no such thing as a ethernet port in that little one...
