List all steps you've taken so far. Did you remove them from Settings, My Devices? Did you perform the reset procedure shown in https://kb.arlo.com/000062438/How-do-I-factory-reset-my-Arlo-wire-free-camera ?

Try adding them from a PC browser (my.arlo.com), as sometimes that will work when the app fails.

Also, if you can disable 5 ghz wifi in your router, try doing that, and then attempt to onboard again.  Of course make sure your phone is connected to your home wifi, and that any VPN is turned off.
