Hi guys,
I have been using arlo from last 3-4 months and had never faced any issues but all of sudden one day my power adopter stopped working. Since then when I switch on my base station it's middle green light is blinking for 5 seconds after a while and my app is showing arlo base as well as pro cameras offline.
Please help.

Raavs,

 

Blinking green is an indication that the base is connected and communicating with Arlo servers. This is good. At this point, I would suggest logging in to your Arlo account and navigating to Settings > My Devices and removing the base station. After it has been removed,  go back to your account main screen (Devices) and click "Add Device". Select base station and follow the on screen instructions. If you're having trouble discovering the device, you may need to manually factory reset the base by pressing and holding the reset button until all LEDs flash amber. Also be sure the device you are using to add the base station to your account is connected to the same network as the base station.

Thanks for your revert. Along with blinking internet light I am also facing problem with feed. My arlo base station as well as cameras are showing offline.

There should be 3 green LEDs, power, Internet and Camera. The middle one blinking is a result of Internet access, as noted above.  However, if you don't have all 3 green LEDs, something is wrong.  Which one is not on/green?

The Internet LED flashes with Internet access.  We need details on what you see and what you've done.
