Hi kdebauch,
I see that your M1 device is working properly because you have other wireless devices connected to it. I am going to move your post to the Arlo location of this community so you can have better assistance on your Arlo devices.

It's my understanding that the US version of the M1 is not currently capable of being used as a base station for Arlo wireless cameras. The Australian version does support htis. Dunno if/when the firmware will be updated for support.
Right now you need to plug a base into the Ethernet port, if the M1 has one. Otherwise, use a WiFi extender that's connected to your WiFi so the base can connect via the extender's Ethernet port.
