Help adding more cameras

[Johnfpatm]

Bought 3. Already have 3 Arlo Secure cameras. Arlo said no more can be added to my Arlo system. I tried adding one and it kicked off one I already have. So I decided to go wifi and can’t get it to work.

WHich cameras? I assume you mean Essential cams since we're in that section. Have you checked Settings, Subscription to see what sub you have? If it's an older sub, try unsubscribing and then subscribe to a new one.

I initially bought 3, then maybe a month later I bought 3 more.... and months after that, 3 more. There were a few stumbles along the way, but my system (unlimited camera subscription $9.95 a month) finally took the last 3.

  My thing is... I've got just one wifi router.... and I have a primary and secondary (guest) channel.

  At first, I set everything up on the primary channel.... and if you ever go back through and read.. I had tons of issues with connectivity, going offline and everything else you can think of... "teething pains" you could say. Sometimes a camera or two would be having connection trouble (most likely me being impatient) and would just not link up to the system. One day... I wondered if maybe I could link the recalcitrant cameras up to the secondary frequency since they sure weren't linking to the primary.

  Well, I tried that and  they connected immediately to the guest freq....  I'm sure there's nothing to it, and it was probably just a coincidence...but, I've left them like that.
