How to add arlo wire free cameras to existing Arlo q pls?

[QueenB]

Hello I have installed 2 Arlo q pls. I bought two additional Arlo wire free cameras (without the base station) as I had understood that you can just add the cameras without needing the base station?

When I tried to add the cameras it is asking me how I would like to connect and gave me two options - base station or nighthawk router. I can't go the first option and don't understand what is a nighthawk router.

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but your info is wrong....

Arlo and Arlo Pro cameras ONLY work and connect to a base.

In the past they did hook to a 7000 router from Netgear, but that SW was dropped

Yes you'll need a base station. I have arlo q plus with the arlo cameras and base station. the wireless cameras only work with the standard base or the arlo pro station.
