Dec 01, 2016How to open ports
So I recently got Arlo and realized that the internet light is amber, which mean that there is no internet connection. I contacted support and they told me that I needed to open up ports 80, 123, and 443. I checked everywhere and I can't find how to open those ports up. I called for netgear support and he redirected me to arlo support, which did not help at all since arlo does not manage opening ports. After all this I decided to come to the community to see if some experts could help me with this, does anyone know how to open ports?
Yes you put the same number in both ports not sure what you mean with opening a port to Netgear.com and yes you put the Ip of the basestation.

Thanks for the answer, but I am still confused
If I am only opening one port, I just put the same number for both ports right?
Also, If I am trying to open the port to Netgear.com, where do I put that in?
And for Internal IP, what do I put? IP for the arlo basestation?
