The engineering team is investigating the cause of these issues. For those of you who experienced issues with the previous firmware version, we'd like to know the following:
-Your internet service provider (Verizon, AT&T U-verse, Cox Cable, etc.)
-Details about your network setup (Firewalls, non-standard router configurations, etc.)
-Router/Modem make and model (NETGEAR Nighthawk R7000, etc.)
More details the better! Please let us know.
Thank you,
JamesC

The issue is now resolved. The motion detection returned yesterday, 2 days after the problem started but still no live view. Today, 3 days after the issue surfaced, live view is working again. Didn’t do anything since writing my original post. The issue auto-magically solved itself.

The latest firmware update has been reverted so you will need to reset the base so you can go backwards.

Is that
Firmware 1.125.13.0_31717
on the camera?
Certainly causing problems here too.

I see that it has also reset the time zone to the West Coast. I am in GMT (summer time).

I checked and corrected the time zone.
I then used the graphical user interface in the browser to reboot the hub.
That took longer than usual, but on reboot things seem to have come back to normal.

Unfortunately, that did not work for me. I chatted with Arlo support too and they could not figure it out. My case is now escalated up the chain and I'm just waiting for an email from them. My cameras are now just very expensive decorations outside my home.

Drat.
I did hear that there has been a hiccup in the update process.
So they should know about this at higher levels.

This forum is not any fun to try and navigate. I haven't found any answers yet. Reseting the base station (via the reset buttom with a paper clip) did not help. Whether it did some automatic firmware update, I cannot tell. Whether it will do some sort of automatic firmware revert after reset is non-evident in any way.

Yes, agree especially as someone is compiling all threads about the issue into this thread. Just makes it hard to track who is saying what, when and where.
The reset requirement I believe was to power reset the base so that it checked the current base station firmware version and reverted it back to previous.
I could point you to the exact post in the thread but as the thread is changing the post gets renumbered.
I will try finding it again and post a link in my next post.

I got the message "To power cycle, choose the ‘restart’ option under your Device settings within the Arlo app or by unplugging and re-plugging power to your base station."
But Device settings only show Device info; hardware and serial number, and otherwise show offline.
No changes in Offline status after rebooted, reseting and opening up both port 80 and 443 on the VMB4000r3 too. Still shows green status lights as online, but base station offline as far as web and app are concerned. Perhaps magically it'll be fixed overnight?
Perhaps I should "Remove the Device" (the base station) and start all over? That'll be my next move I suppose, but I didn't want to have to redo all my other settings for the cameras.

Is hitting the reset button on the unit a factory reset? Because somewhere in these discussions, a reset was mentioned as the way to trigger a firmware update.

A power reset is turning off and on the base station either by switch or unplugging.
A factory reset is using the paper clip method that resets all settings to default. Refer link below,
