I don't have internet service.  However I have unlimited internet connection on my iPad.  So I can hotspot my phone, my friend's phone can also connect, or another iPad to this iPad with unlimited service.  So I wanted to know how I can set up my Arlo cameras using the internet service from this unlimited internet connection iPad?

Disclaimer: Not sure if this works or not but...

 

You could try using a wifi range extender. This could connect to your iPad's hotspot. Range extenders normally have an ethernet port on them so you could plug the Arlo Base Station into that.

 

Let us know if it works, if you try it

That should work BUT...  (ain't there always a but?)

 

WHen your hotspot goes away, so does the connection to the servers for recording and remote viewing. It would be better to use a dedicated hotspot that's always on and a data plan that will support your expected usage.
