correct... there is no access into the Arlo wifi base ( but doesn't appear needed as it doesn't have full router functions )

 

But just in case you need this;

 

The Arlo base will take on the same wifi channel as the router during setup.  Sometimes this isn't the best channel due to interference.

If you have a wifi analyzer ( kindle fire even has one ) that show the surrounding wifi signals and strength, you can change you router wifi channel to a clear/ low interference channel.

 

After doing this, do a full reset on Arlo base and it will re-confiq to same ( new ) channel as your wifi.   This can also be if you want an Arlo base on a differnt channel for your router ( just put your router back to original channel and the arlo base will remain as it was till fully reset )
