I have been using Asus 4G ac55u wireless router for 6 months with no problem. After installning Arlo Pro with base station connected to the router, my router drops the wireless connection 4G (4G mobile broadband). I have to reboot the router to get it up and running again. I have a good signal strenght to the wireless 4G base station. The connection drops about once a day. This makes monitoring my property 180 km from home quite a problem. 

Anybody with similar experience? 

 

(I will use a long ethernet cable to separate the ac55u och and Arlo base station next time i visit the property)

I haven't seen any reports of interference with 4G along the way but I guess separating the base from the router would be a good start. Interesting that the router doesn't automatically reconnect to the 4G network. AFAIK, the only band the Arlo Pro uses is the 2.4GHz one. That probably shouldn't interfere with 4G but I'm no physicist

Last night I found an identical report in a Swedish forum with the same hardware (ac55u and Arlo Pro) and he also had to reboot the router to reconnect to 4G. So I will try to separate the units. Thanks for your feedback.
