Netgear wifi hub and the Meural Frame

I use the Netgear wifi hub to connect to my Arlo Cameras. Do I need to keep this Hub for the original Meural (Netgear) Frame? I want to update to the Arlo Hub, but I don't know if I have to keep my Netgear Hub for the frame to function?

 

Thanks

Joe

  • Usually the hub is needed for the cameras with arlo.  

    What model hub is it? 

     

    And again, netgear and arlo split so arlo doesn't integrate with netgear anymore. 

    The meural should work with pretty much any router as it connects to wifi. 

    not sure what "google netgear max" your talking about. again 2 different companies.

    Arlo and netgear are 2 seperate companies. 

    And Meural doesn't need a "hub" to connect to. it does need a router though. 

     

    What netgear "hub" do you have?

      I have the original Netgear hub for Arlo. It still works with the Arlo but I need to update it for the later cameras. Since Meural is now owned by Netgear (It was not when I got mine) I am concerned that if I get rid of the Hub, I will lose Meural WiFi. I did not think that the two are connected but I can't find any information on the Netgear website. I THINK i don't need the hub, but I am not sure. If i were to get the latest Google Netgear Max, would I need the hub? It's an old hub, and I would like to be able to just trash it.
