I'm almost certain to purchase a few Arlos.  I currently have a few Dropcams.  For anybody that has both, have you noticed or would you expect to notice bandwith problems or any streaming glitches, etc. from these additional cameras?

The base station for Arlo is it's own wifi network... the cameras run on 2.4ghz just like any wifi unit.

 

That being said, 1) there shouldn't be a prob for bandwidth as your Dropcams and Arlos are on two different networks...as long as you main feed from the cable modem has enough bandwidth. 2) no interference problems if you follow basic wifi rules like keeping units a couple feet apart.
