It doesn't use your wifi, it connects to the base over the base wifi.
What exactly do you mean by "slow to connect"?

I’ve fully strength wi fi signal, but I have to wait as the Arlo is really slow to connect so that I can see what’s happening. It takes a while to connect to my iPhone or pad. It’s like it’s slow to connect/ load. People have been & gone before I can see what’s happening.

What are your Internet speeds, up and down, as measured by speedtest.net? Slow networking can cause this.

I’m exactly the same as you. My broadband is really fast. I don’t know what the problem is, but it’s the same as yours, so it’s not just me & my Arlo.

Is this occurring on the web browser & Mobile App? If on the App, what version are you currently running?
What Device/Model/OS are you using?

Yes I have 4 in total. The faulty one has a new battery fitted. The other 3 are ok plus all are fitted with a Arlo solar panel to keep them topped up with charge.

The product is fundamentally flawed with gaslighting sales reps & marketeers continuing to take unsuspecting new customers for a ride.
I’m looking for alternatives.

My Arlo is saying there’s a base station firmware update, but nothing is happening. Why? I’ve done what it says, update, etc.

I started having the same issues since the latest mobile update. Connecting to my pro 2 (which is always plugged in) can sometimes take 1-2 minutes. While it's trying to connect to the live screen, the screen on my iPhone 8 becomes frozen. Once it finally connects, the screen becomes unfrozen. This behavior has happened in the past but from what I remember there was an app update that fixed it. Apparently the problem is back. I use 5 cameras ( pro and pro 2) in which this occurs with.
Another issue is their latest app crashes on the initial launch. After the crash, it seems to load fine, except for the slow connection to the camera's live screen. Launching the app again, it will crash.
Using the cameras through my Chrome browser, the plugged in cameras show an orange badge telling me to set up activity zones. I already have the zones activated so I don't know why I see the orange badges. Before the phone updates, it was the opposite---the wireless cameras had the orange badges while the plugged in ones appeared fine.
Contacting support doesn't do much good since they tell you to do the basics in which I always do. These include removing the device from the network, taking out the battery and putting it back in, etc. None of these work and seems like a wast of time.
I've given Arlo almost $500 dollars in subscription fees so far. They keep coming up with new products but can't seem to get it right with their basic cameras.
My download speeds are about 150mbps and upload speeds about 10mbps
I'm going to stop complaining and look for alternatives..
