Yesterday, my base station (VMB400043) disappeared from the app so my cameras (3 Arlo Pro models) were appearing offline. The cameras that record on motion detected by my spotlights (connected to a Bridge, not the base) continued to record based on those triggers, though, and new videos are saved to the library. I can access those videos through the app but without the base station in the app I can't start a live view or make any changes. If I select the Mode button in the app the app immediately crashes. I tried power cycling the base station which did not resolve the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but that did not resolve the issue. I moved the base station to a different ethernet jack in the house but that did not resolve the issue. I could not remove individual cameras since they were showing as offline so I factory reset the base station and added the cameras again. This worked for about 90 minutes then the base station disappeared from the app again. Even when the base station disappears from the app, all three lights on the base station are still green indicating it has power, is connected to the internet, and is connected to the cameras. I'm not sure what else to troubleshoot and I don't want to buy a replacement base without knowing if that's really the problem or not.
Solved! Go to Solution.

A fix for this issue has been implemented. This will allow users to safely use the device order feature without resulting in any issues.
For users that are experiencing their base station no longer being visible within the Arlo mobile app or web client, you will need to re-onboard the base station by tapping "Add New Device" select Base Station/Hub and follow the on screen instructions.
If the base station cannot be found, follow the reset instructions linked here and then attempt onboarding again: https://kb.arlo.com/1057976/How-can-I-reset-my-Arlo-SmartHub-or-Base-Station

Thanks for this. I did a hard reset and reordered and when it stopped working just about lost my mind. Did it again without reordering the cameras and so far so good

I just started a chat session with Arlo Support for this problem and they said they are investigating this as an ongoing issue. They did not provide any additional troubleshooting steps or work arounds but said they would post more information as soon as they figure out what's going on.

This also seems to be working for me. I just did the third factory reset of the base station in two days, added the base station, cameras, doorbell and chime back in in the order I want them to appear within the app and everything still appears to be working 30 mins later. I haven't touched the order of the devices, I've only added back in the custom modes that I had created previously.
Seems to me like it's such a weird issue that re-ordering the devices in the app causes you to lose the base station and all the modes. I hope that Arlo tech support actively reads these forums as we appear to be doing at least part of their job for them!

I don’t think that’s the actual cause. When I re-order devices the setting simply doesn’t stick. My base station doesn’t die. ⭐️

It's possible that it's something else related, so I'm not touching anything else. I added a custom mode, and that saved and works just fine. Re-ordering (or something I'm doing when I re-order) definitely takes my base station down. I've been up for a couple hours since the last reset...so that at least is a work around

Agreed on the "something else related" and "work around" bits. At the very least it's the cause of my issues (as I had reordered the devices after the previous two base station factory resets) so I'm leaving well enough alone for the time being.

I have reset my base stations to factory settings twice now. Hopeful the 2 base stations will not crash again. I will not reorder devices. Lets see if that is the fix, until arlo tech support provides a firmware update

A couple of hours ago the exact same thing happened to me - my base station disappeared from the app and my Mode tab is blank. What caused this and how do we fix it.??

For me the issue was reproduced when I deleted unwanted videos. After the deletion, the base station was removed.

I would suggest doing a factory reset, add cameras 1 by 1. After all is done and reset complete, DO NOT REORDER YOUR CAMERAS, putting your cameras in a different order after reset will cause this problem to occur, either right away or in a few hours.

Something else I noticed... If I go through the steps everyone is recommending - reset base station, add cameras back, do NOT reorder devices - everything does show up and work as expected with one exception: my Arlo wired doorbell stops functioning. It still shows up in the app, but I can't connect to it. When I reset the base station, the doorbell was the first thing I added and it worked all the way up until I modified the Modes to switch to geo-fencing and to add an At Home mode that included only the doorbell itself.

@JamesC - are you able to communicate when exactly this fix was pushed out? Per my above post, I reset my base station about 20 mins before your post and still had issues.

Philipiter,
I don't have a precise timeframe for when the fix was released on the cloud, but the timeframe you indicate is close enough to the fix that you may have reset just prior to it's release.
Try onboarding again and you should be all set as of now.
