Internet Connection problem

crouton1 — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 21:33:47 GMT

Hello,

We've had the Arlo Wire Free cameras working for the past 6 months with no problems. Today the message "Your device is not connected. Make sure it's connected to your router and has a working Internet connection." appeared. We rebooted the router - there doesn't appear to be a problem with the internet connection, however, the cameras are still not connecting. Please advise.

Thank you!

The few times I've had such issues I simply logged out and back in - all was well. Also, did you try both the app and browser?

Yes, we've tried logging in and out and no luck. We've also tried resetting the base by using the reset button and sync button. The amber and green lights are on and each of the cameras have been synced (blue light). The internet connection is working. It appears that the cameras should be connected and working, but still getting the same no connection error message. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

You said you've rebooted the "router" - do you mean the base station or the actual router used to connect the base to the Internet? If you mean the base, try rebuilt the router itself.

I meant that I rebooted the base, but I also rebooted the router and still no luck.

Do you think hitting "Remove Device" from my account settings would do anything? Would it reset the cameras if I add it back to my account again and attempt to set it up again?

Thanks again for your suggestions. Hopefully I can find a solution!

Certainly deleting the device from your account, factory resetting the base and starting over is a brute force way to go but if nothing else is working... Cameras would need to be re-synced. Open and close battery doors just to be complete.

dbm4225,

I have a few questions to better clarify the issue you are having. What is the behavior of the internet LED when you are seeing this issue? Do you see the same behavior when using the mobile app and the web client? Do you always get this error or is it intermittent?

Please let us know so we can help!

HeatherH,

Consider power cycling the camera by opening and closing the battery compartment door. If you're still having issues, consider a fresh set of batteries for the camera.

I hope this helps!

Lulu21,

I have a few questions to help isolate the issue.

Has it ever worked in the past, has anything on your network changed?

Who is your ISP, what are your upload/download speeds?

Is this issue intermittent or does it always occur?

Do you see this behavior across all browsers/mobile apps?

What is the behavior of the internet LED on the base station?

Our cameras were working up until 2 weeks ago. The router is working and our internet connection is working. I have rebooted our router several times and have rebooted the Arlo base several times. After rebooting the the Power and Internet LED lights are green. I have tried to resync the cameras and now none of the lights are working. The Computer and the APP both say that there is no "internet connection" and the "device is offline" can anyone help me please...

knightrider636,

Consider power cycling the camera by opening and closing the battery compartment door. If you still get no LED on the camera, it could be that the batteries are depleted.

Might be batteries but prolly not. Use both the app and a browser. Does it do the same on both? Try logging out and back in. Try power cycling the base station.

Mine has been doing the same worked great for about 5 months and just the past week been getting this message a lot. twice this week. And I use it to monitor my elderly mother..I need to know why it does and the fix. I have done batteries, base, my phone, and i even have a great connection myself at work and cannot get to connect.

Some help would be appreciated. I see the same questions, and you giving the same answers. But I am not for sure if everyone expected to have to undo cameras or bases to make them function. Defect?

Its nothing on my end.. I have tried EVERYTHING... about every 3rd or 4th try if I restart the Arlo router it will work until the next time I try to log in.. It is something on the ARLo/Netgear side of things since I am just one of many that are having the same issue.. NEtGEAR promised to call me.. that was 2 days ago... SMH
