To connect your Arlo SmartHub or base station to the Internet:
Using an Ethernet wire, connect the SmartHub or base station to your router.
Before you turn on the base station, make sure it's connected to your router. If you turn on the base station before connecting it to your router, it may not connect to your network correctly.
Connect the base station to the power adapter and connect it into an outlet.
By pushing the On-Off button, you can turn the base station on.
In about two minutes, the power and Internet LEDs on the front of the base station should turn green. Wait for the LED to become blue if you're using a single-LED base station.
Your base station has an Internet connection.
If you were unable to connect your base station then visit arlo netgear customer service
