How to sync the Arlo or Arlo Pro with Orbi router, no WPS button. Do not want to use base station too many wires, mess.

You CAN NOT sync the Arlo or Arlo PRO to the Orbi ( I have one )....

The above BOTH require using the base to connect to ( and the base needs an ethernet port.

But the nice thing about the Orbi, is that if you have two bases one can run from the main unit ans one can run from the satellite giving you a max coverage for your cameras.

Hate wires...
But sell could sync with regular netgear route without base

Only the R7k router with appropriate firmware. However, support for that has been pulled. In any event, the Orbi will likely never be compatible. You cvant expect a Ford ECU to work in a Chevy.

The question is my wireless cannot cover all the room so I need two base? Seems not sense

If you mean the WiFi from one base won't cover all cameras, you have two choices. 1) reposition the base to allow coverage or 2) use a second base. Your exiting WiFi has nothing to do with Arlo unless you have a Q camera which doesn't have a base.
