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
