Arlo base station not live after internet returns

[koups]

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help- I have a camera installed at a house where we turn off the internet for a few months at a time. However, when I do this and then make the internet active again, the base station cannot be found.

The router and basestation have been left on so I know they are running.

Has anyone else had this issue or can you suggest a solution? I cannot get to the base station to restart it for example.  

Thank you.

This seems to be a new scenario presented.  If you can't physically access the router and base or have someone else do it for you I'd suggest a WiFi power switch for at least the base (perhaps the router, too) so you can remotely power cycle them. 

Does the router respond when Internet is resumed?

Oh what a good idea- thanks for that solution!

May I ask what your purpose is in turning off the internet and how you achieve this?
If you’re leaving the arlo Base station and battery only cameras active without shutting them down you could also end up attending site to recharge them.

Thank you. I turn off to reduce costs as I only pay when on. I have solar panels to charge the cameras.
