Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie.” Don’t worry! It’s not a spaceship part, even tho it might make you feel like an intergalactic tech wizard. We’re gonna make this easy-peasy lemon squeezy. Just follow these steps and soon enough you’ll be spying on your visitors like a pro.

Step 1: Gather Your Gear
First things first, dude. You need your Arlo Doorbell and the Arlo Hub. They gotta be in the same room to get along. It’s like when you try to make two friends who don’t really know each other hang out in different houses—just doesn’t work! Get them nice and cozy near your Wi-Fi too.

Step 2: Turn It On
Okay, now push that button on the doorbell till it lights up like a Christmas tree. If nothing happens, maybe give it a gentle tap or two? Treat it nicely! Nobody likes being ignored. Wait for the blue LED light – that’s when it’s ready to rock n’ roll.

Step 3: Check Your App
Now take out your phone and open the Arlo app. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, what are ya waiting for? It’s free! Look for the plus (+) sign or maybe it looks more like a little alien waving at you. Tap on that thingy!

Step 4: Follow The Prompts
Your phone should guide you through some prompts now. It’ll ask if you wanna add a new device or something similar. Just say yes or whatever feels right because we want that doorbell to join the party!

Step 5: Choose Your Doorbell
Once you’re in the app’s happy place, look for “Video Doorbell” in the options there. And pick your brand-spanking-new doorbell from the list of devices! If it’s not showing up right away, chill for a sec—sometimes things just take their sweet time like me deciding what cereal I wanna eat.

Step 6: Connect To Wi-Fi
Time to connect to your Wi-Fi network! Type in your password but double-check because typos are sneaky little thieves of connectivity! After all that typing, hit enter and watch those clouds (or pixels) move around as they connect!

Step 7: Linking Time
Alright hero, now comes the good part! The app will ask if you can see that blinking light on your doorbell again—remember that Christmas tree moment? Hit “Yes” once you’ve spotted it blinking happily away!

Bam! You’re linked up! Now go check if it’s working by ringing your own doorbell… kinda feel silly doing that huh? But hey at least no one’s home judging ya!
