So frustrated with this system.
I've got an open ticket out but in case someone can reply faster to get it working. I know I need to update my cameras and firmware but it's still not detecting it.
I've taken out the battery, removed devices, setup new accounts and even did the 10 second yellow LED factory reset. Also tried with disarming the recording and just waiting for it to find an update now.
No matter waht the base station and cameras do not say an update is available.
Camera Firmware 1.085.0.0_8669/ HW Version H8
Arlo Pro base / HW version Version VMB4000r3/Firmware 1.8.2.4_10232
Solved! Go to Solution.

1. Change router dns to 8.8.8.8. Restart router.
2. Restart base station using the arlo app
As soon as it is back online the thumbnail automatically has an update button for each camera. I just tapped all of them. It took a few min for all of them to update.
No need to climb ladder or re add camera. I didn't do any of those.

For some reason, upload speeds can be an issue. Have you tested via speedtest.net?

If it is not a hardware fault then it could possibly be that your router is blocking some ports that may be used to talk to Netgear.
Log into your router and disable the firewall temporarily and see if that helps. In most cases if you have an all in one Wireless Router/mModem then just type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 into your web browser and you should get a login page. The login info would hae been provided with the equipmnet.
If you are serious about your home or work security then look elsewhere! Get a ip Camera System with an NVR and some Blink XT cameras to cover the places you cannot run a cable to. You will NEVER regret moving away from Arlo!

Just to add, are you able to take your base and camers to a friends house and try it there? That would immediately tell you if it is related to your home network/router/speed etc. or if it is the actual hardware or even possibly your account. You will at the very least elliminate part of the possible cause.

Damn! I was hoping it would be related to the router etc.
Hopefully support will sort you out. Best of luck 🙂

I have not been able to replicate any issues with firmware updates. For those affected, who is your ISP and what is your download/upload speeds?

Same here. All cameras stuck with 9945. App doesn't report any update even in device info / firmware.
A few facts:
- Comcast, 100MB down, 5MB up. Should be decent enough for firmware update. At least "the rest of internet" works well. See image for speedtest chart.
- I restarted everything, including my SB6183 cable modem, Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac router, and Arlo Pro base station (using the "restart" button in app). Still not seeing new firmware.
- I took it one step further by actually taking one camera inside the house, remove it from Arlo app, power cycle (by actually unplugging the power cable) the base, remove the battery from the camera, then re-pair them as new camera. Still, 9945. No update seen.
- A month ago when I first bought this camera set, firmware update did work properly when I first paired my cameras with the base station. It was the same ISP / network and everything. So it did work not long ago.
- Arlo Pro iOS app works perfectly for me on the same WiFi network (other than that it doesn't see firmware update, of course)
Similar to the nightvision issue, looks like multiple users are affected. So please don't treat this as another isolated issue.
A few suggestions:
- Many customers on this forum are technical and are willing to help troubleshooting -- I'm talking about real troubleshooting, not typical customer support troubleshooting like "did you press the power button"... E.g., if you suspect it could be our connection issue, give us the host IP of the firmware update server, or even the full URL of the update checker, we're happy to ping/curl it and report the result.
- Some electronic equipements I own allow offline update via USB drive or SD card, like my camera. I can download an offline file and plug it into the system. Arlo Pro base station has a USB drive (and I'm using it for video backup) so it sounds perfectly possible. Is that an option?

I have escalated this topic to be further investigated by the engineering team. I will post an update when I have more information.
