I have Costco bundle of "Arlo Pro 4 XL Security Cameras and trying to Ethernet connect with Cable Modem (Spectrum) that does not have any extra. Its only Ethernet connection is fed into My personal WIFI - which has multiple Ethernet port outputs.

 

Can i use one of the WIFI port to connect SmartHub device?

Is that the best option?

Am I sacrificing some (or any) of the features?

 

Thank you in advance - Yogi

That will work, and you won't lose any features.  

 

Some cable modems are actually gateways (combinations of a cable modem and a router).  Your setup sounds like you have two separate devices instead - the spectrum modem being just a cable modem and the my personal wifi box being the router.
