Move your camera’s WiFi connection to a direct
router connection
You can change your camera’s WiFi connection from a VMB5000, VMB4540, VMB4500, or
VMB4000 SmartHub or base station, and connect the camera directly to your router’s 2.4 GHz
WiFi network.
Note: When you connect your camera directly to your router, you can’t use the camera to
trigger an Arlo Chime or other cameras, and you can’t store Arlo recordings to a local storage
device in a SmartHub or base station.
To move your camera’s WiFi connection directly to your router:
1. Open the Arlo app and log into the same Arlo account that your camera is connected to.
If you are using an Arlo Smart trial associated with this account, doing this keeps the trial
active so you don’t lose it.
2. Make sure that your mobile device is connected to your router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
For more information, see Connect your mobile device to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network during
setup on page 73.
3. Tap Settings > My Devices.
4. Select your camera.
