Several times I have unplugged both cable for one minute, pressed on/off button, held reset for 10 seconds. All three lights turn green yet says base unit is offline. Help?! Please.

Earlier today, we experienced some technical issues with the Arlo environment and some customers may have been unable to connect to their cameras. We have restored full functionality and you should no longer be experiencing issues. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you for being part of the Arlo Family!

I'm Having the same issue.  The app and web interface says that i am offline.

I rebooted the base station and now the web lite is amber saying that is has no connectivity to the server. I checked my internet service and even switched the ethernet port to no avail.

looks like the arlo servers are down

This has happened a couple times lately. Looks like they would email you from a seperate server and tell you it's down. Its frustrating not being able to turn on/ cameras.

My system is still offline.  If they are having an issue an email headsup or a notice on the website would be nice.  I wasted a lot of time this morning trying to get the cameras and base station back online.

I have the same issue.  Arlo app said I was offline, so I rebooted the base unit, now the internet light is amber.  Now the App says 'we;re sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable.  Please try again later.'

Hello??? Anyone out there? I have tried calling the 408 phone number and it isn't working. My base goes offline then online then off again. Tried unplugging it, restarting it with no luck. I see otherts are having this same problem.  I call Gearhead support and they are not able to connect me to Arlo support.... phones are down or something. Is anyone there to fix this issue?? Does anyone know there is a problem?? Please respond??

See my post just above yours.  It was a server problem that seems to have been resolved.  Or maybe not.

And you think Canada doesn't use the same transatlantic cables? The issue didn't seem to be tightly isolated.

I'm still having these issues and would like this resolve, I've only had the system for less than 1 week, not thinking I made a good purchase

Thanks

What is the LED behavior on your base station? Consider unplugging the power to your base station for around 30 seconds, plug back in and try again. Do you still see the same behavior?

Yes I actually unplugged the power and Ethernet for 1 min. Held in the tiny reset button for 10 secs. The 3 lights turn all green but continues to say my base station is offline. Tried several times.

AgentL,

 

If the reset button was held, that results in a factory reset of the base station and you will need to add the base station back to your account. Log into your account and remove all Devices under Settings > My Devices. After the devices have been removed, log back in and click the "Add Device" button, select base station and follow the on screen prompts. Your cameras will also need to be resynced.

It's fine and dandy to advise to reset, however that doesn't help if you are not there, which is one of the reasons for having the cameras in the first place.
