Hi, 2 days ago my arlo baby just stoped working and said it was offline. I tried everything mentioned In similar posts - tried to log out/back in from app, and both battery and hard reset. The arlo light is blinking amber, then blinking blue as it tries to connect, but it just does not want to connect to a network.
It is a huge issue since we, and the nanny can’t have a look at the 1 year old baby. Also, this is the second time in 2 months that your product is not working. Will you fix the issues or do we need to throw this piece of crap under the bus and make a video for all potential new buyers - so they can see what this product is only good for?

I have had my Arlo baby for about a year and a half and have had this problem from the start.  It usually takes multiple attempts to get it to discover, but once discovered it consistantly falls off network and has to be power cycled.  Occasionally this wont work and i will have to delete the device from the app and go through the annoying process of multiple factory resets and power cycles to get it to discover. 

 

Recently I have not been able to get it to discover at all.  Its been about 3 weeks without a baby monitor and support has been useless.  I called customer service and all they could do is walk me through the process that is listed online.  The first rep i spoke with escalated it to a higher support team that was supposed to call me back that day, and of course they didnt.  Got a call the next day and this rep ran me through the same routine of factory reset.  The end result was that its defective and out of warranty.

 

Though I had a case dated back to when this was under warranty, with the same issue, they would not replace this now since I passed the 1 year.  All they could do is say sorry and offer me a 30% discount.  its a joke.  it was overpriced to begin with at 200 buck and now they expected me to buy another at a discount when this didnt even last 2 years.

 

Anyone have a solution for this or have a similar issue with the lack of support?
