GuyCan Arlo base station connect to Nighthawk M1?

I have poor internet upload speeds and have very good 4g. So I am thinking of using an M1 for my Arlo cameras.

However you want to do it, th Arlo base requires two things....an Ethernet port and a min of 1mbs upload speed

When is the Netgear M1 going to be able to connect to Arlo cameras thru ATT/Verizon in the USA

kayakmorris,

This feature will be available in a future firmware release. I do not have information at this time for when this firmware will be available.

dont know how that will go in Australia, as most 4g mobile ISP's  dont give u an IP address to allow outside access.

[kayakmorris]

So, the nighthawk M1 will be released as a USA version to connect to Arlo pro cameras? Correct?

[kayakmorris]

WHEN? WHEN? WHEN? Is the Netgear Nighthawk M1 mobile hotspot going to have the firmware upgrade to support Arlo cameras??????? I purchased the Netgear M1 two months ago and it is just sitting collecting dust waiting for this upgrade. When??????

[jguerdat]

Since it's only for Australia, I have no idea what's going on. I thought, according to the literature, that the M1 came with that capability was already installed. You're seeing differently?

[kayakmorris]

It is sold in the USA for ATT. I bought mine at Best Buy in December! Where is the firmware upgrade to make the Arlo functionality work??????

[jguerdat]

No idea what's in the pipeline but the M1 with Arlo capabilities is only for Australia, AFAIK. What the difference is, no idea.

[kayakmorris]

Not according to the product data sheet. It says upcoming firmware update will allow on the att.

[kayakmorris]

I called them and they said in the next couple of weeks the firmware update will be available

Has anyone been able to get this to work on AT&T's mobile broadband? I just got a Nighthawk M1 and notice the Arlo configuration options in the device management page. Given DDNS does not work over mobile brodband I'm hoping that an Arlo solution will. 

[kayakmorris]

It does work. I got mine to work and added Arlo pro cameras. No base station necessary. The M1 acts as the base station

[jguerdat]

I know the M1 works as a base for Arlo Down Under but the last I heard the firmware for that capability hadn't been added to the US versions.

[kayakmorris]

It works in the US. I am on ATT

[ChrisGuzak]

Awesome. thanks for the confirmation. ordered my Arlo Q Plus. may get other devices once I see that working well.

Does anyone know if I can log in to the Nighthawk M1 remotely to see battery level and other stats. I know I can log in from the netgear mobile app when connected via Wi-Fi to the router but can I connect remotely when not in its Wi-Fi range?

[jguerdat]

That's outside the scope of the Arlo forums. Try asking in the appropriate router forum.

I have the Nighthawk M1.  I removed the battery and plugged the cord into a UPS.

I have two Arlo Q cameras that are working well.

I installed an Arlo Pro2 and the connection was simple and straightforward.

The battery life, however, was horrible.  All I could get was about 24 hours.  Long conversation with CS (he didn't know the Nighthawk would work with the Pro 2 without a base station) resulted in his advising me to return the Pro 2 as it was probably defective.

I returned the Pro 2 and got another one.  I installed it yesterday at about 2 pm.  I set the video quality for optimized and the motion detection at 1%.  Last night the battery showed to be fully charged.

This morning the battery showed 30%.  There were no videos recorded between the two times I checked.

I called CS this morning, they asked if they could put me on hold while they investigated.  I told them to call me back.  I've waited on hold long enough.

I suspect there is some glitch when using the Nighthawk as a base station.  I'd love to give them the time to sort it out but the return window is short.

If I don't hear back from CS I'll return the camera and seek other options.

This is too bad.  The video was very good and I had high hopes.
