Set Up the Router as an Arlo Base Station
You can set up router as an Arlo base station by enabling the Arlo feature on your router. If
your router is in AP mode, you can still enable the Arlo feature on your router.
After the Arlo feature is enabled, sync your Arlo cameras to the router. You must sync your
cameras after you register your router with your account.
If the Arlo feature is enabled on the router, the router generates a separate 2.4 GHz WiFi
network with a specific Arlo SSID, which the router uses to communicate with the Arlo
cameras. Arlo videos will be streamed and secured on this network.
