How do you connect Arlo Q to an open Wifi network that doesn’t require a password? This is a public guest Wi-Fi in a facility . Leaving the password blank didn’t help connect. When I connect to this network with my smart phone it brings you to a disclaimer page to accept connection .

The Q cameras require WPA2 encryption to connect. It's a security measure.

I wonder if a workaround might be to set up a wireless extender (assuming the extender does not also require a secure network to extend).  If you could “Extend” the non-secure network and give the extended network WPA-2 security that might satisfy the requirement as long as you were ok with the insecurity of the primary network.  I’m not sure it would work, but just a thought.
