need ethernet connection to set up
on March 21, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this router (my 3rd one) by recommendation from the clerk, it has a reach of 5,000 sq ft. My house is3800 sq ft. so I thought it would work fine. I had problems at first getting a signal upstairs, then the day the geek squad guy came out, I moved the plug from the surge protector to the wall, and the signal came in fine, while he was there. One week later, I started having problems upstairs again, so I adjusted the antena, and seems to help, signal is fine again. Saved me allot of money not having to buy the mega router plus 2 power boosters that are compatible with that company's router, so if you live in an old house that is big and who knows what might be interfering, I think it works well for the money. For a new person to the wireless internet it was a little difficult to set up, I needed to be guided on the phone. Customer service was very good (and patient). The set up had to be re-done with a hardwire (ethernet) connection a second time because of some reason I didn't understand. It works fine now, so I shouldn't complain, but wouldn't be my first choice next time for problem spots. It really depends on your situation. Most homes it would be great. This was my 3rd one, and it is working great now.

The Arlo camera is a 100 Percent Wire-Free, completely wireless, HD smart home security camera - so you can get exactly the shot you need - inside or out. The Arlo camera is weatherproof and includes motion detection, night vision, and apps. It can capture clips and send you alerts whether you're at home or away for round-the-clock peace of mind.
 

Will this camera work with the xfinity home system

I don't think so, do you think your cameras would work on the wifi that comes with this system? the way I understand it is that you have to have the base unit for the cameras that are compatible with that system.

you have to have the whole system. Might want to check if your current system has add-on's, or just get it and use it so you can see whats going on while you're away
