I recently let go of my home internet services due to the expensive prices and changed over to a mobile hotspot device for my internet needs at home. Now my cameras say base is offline. My ethernet cable isnt able to plug into my mobile hotspot device since its a small little square that provides hotspot internet. Is there a way to connect my base without the ethernet cable to my hotspot internet device? Or does the base have to be plugged into an ethernet internet device?

The easiest way is to use a WiFi extender. The extender connects to the hotspot's WiFi and the base plugs into the extender.
