I would like to connect directly to a Wi-Fi hotspot for a construction site since I have no other wireless wifi at the jobsite.
I’m assuming setting up my two cameras onto the hotspot network is similar set up to any other wireless network (like the ones I have at my house using my house network).
All the recommendations that I found on this site has to do with connecting a base to a hotspot using an Ethernet connection.
Is my assumption wrong? Do I need anything else beside the AT&T nighthawk M6 pro hotspot?
Thanks!!

The assumption isn't wrong, the cameras should be able to connect to the M6. You can set it up to use the same wifi network name and passphrase as your home wifi, and the cameras should connect to it w/o any need to change their settings - you can test this by turning off your home wifi, and setting up the M6 at home.
Another option would be to get the Go 2 camera, which uses mobile data. You would need a mobile data plan for the camera, but you wouldn't need the hotspot. However, it is not yet available on AT&T. https://www.arlo.com/en-us/cameras/go/arlo-go-2-cameras.html

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I would have looked into the Go 2 cameras, but I already own the Pro 4 cameras and the Pro 3 spotlight camera.
