Arlo Q with solid amber light

CameraFunTimes — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:07:02 GMT

I have an Arlo Q that's worked fine for years. Recently it shows as disconnected and has a solid amber light.

Does anyone have any ideas what might have happened? Failed firmware update?

Is there anything I can do to try get this camera working again? I've power cycled and attempted a factory reset but no luck.

Thanks

There haven't been any updates for a few years now for the Q.

Try a different power supply to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, I'd wager it's dead.

Thanks - didn't think to try another power supply. Worth trying but unfortunately didn't help. I guess I'll switch it out for an Essential Indoor or similar.
