I just purchased the Arlo Pro Wireless cameras.  When I downloaded the App and began going through the set up I was able to get to where I set up camera name, added my email, name, password, etc, but when I click "Next" it says Netgear is unavailable at this time.  I then tried set up on my computer and I hit the same problem.  So...basically I have cameras that are unoperable.

 

I do have a Nest system connected to my Router as well, but that shouldn't be blocking my Arlo set up?

Nest would not have anything to do with it, but what are the LEDS on the front of the base doing?  The left most two should be green ( third will be green with added cameras )

I just purchased this wireless 2 camera system from Costco yesterday and am getting the same error message after trying to add a device, "Arlo is currently unavailable" , whether I use my android Samsung S7 Edge through the Arlo app or full website or my MacPro through multiple browsers, rebooting, uninstalling, reinstalling etc...I've read multiple posts here with the same problem but haven't seen any solutions.  I sent an email to support so waiting to hear from them.  Anyone have a clue?

What are the LEDs showing? SHould be power and Internet being green. In the meantime, try power cycling the base.  If that doesn't owrk, try resetting the base, holding the reset button until the LEDs flash amber.  Also, try power cycling the router.
