Does Arlo Security System work with Virgin Broadband (UK)?

[gsrockmoon]

Hi Guys,

I am living in the UK. Recently I want to buy the Arlo camera. I have a Virgin Broadband (Super hub) in my flat. Does Arlo camera or the base work properly with the Virgin router?

Really need the answer before purchasing it.

Thank you

Regards

Eric

Hopefully someone in the UK can answer this.  Don't think we've had much talk about Virgin broadband.

Other UK users have had issues with ISP-supplied equipment that was solved by upgrading to newer version.  HomeHub3 was the one in particular, IIRC.  In general, as long as the router or ISP doesn't block netgear.com you're fine. However, we'll just have to wait to see if others chime in.  I guess you could ask your ISP if there's newer equipment available to swap out what you currently have. Is the SuperHub a router, also? Can you configure it or is it locked down?

I have a 4 camera setup using Virgin Media superhub 2. Works perfectly. Nothing to change on the router, just plug it in sync the cameras and find another DIY project. They are almost too easy to set up.

Thanks for your info.

How? Mine superhub router has no sync button. The URL in the booklet doesn't work.

I think you misunderstand. He was saying you have to do nothing other than to plug the base into the router, sync the cameras to the base using the usual procedure (briefly press the base sync button) and everything should work fine.

Yeah I just found out I need a base, which I don't have... 😞
