My arlo base station keeps going offline and I have manually reboot it. I often don't know it's off line for a day or two. It's plugged directly into the router. The power flickers occasionally with storms but I would think it would reconnect automatically.

Power flickers can be really problematic depending on way too many variables.  Does the offline status directly correlate with the power flickers/storms or is it more random than that?  If it's at least mostly correlated with the storms, buy an inexpensive (<$100) UPS and plug your modem, router and base into it to keep the power on and stable.

Thanks Guru.  I will try that.  I'm not sure if the power flickers are related but they must be.  The UPS is a great idea.
