I've had my Arlo Pro system (4 cameras) set up and going for about a year now. After some initial hiccups, all is well and I'm really happy with the system. So much so, that I recently bought another Arlo Pro system (3 cameras this time), to be able to have a closer base station to the rear of my property (splitting the 2 for front and rear coverage).
During initial setup, the second base station can not connect to the internet - the middle LED on the base station is amber. I've checked my router and I can see the base station has an IP address. I can ping it ok. All my devices in the house can connect to the internet ok. Even my original Arlo Pro base station has no issue (Can I rule out router misconfiguration?). I've factory resetted the base station about 5 times now trying to get it to work. I've restarted my router multiple times too.
In summary, my original Arlo Pro system has been going strong for about a year now, and continues to do so. My new base station cannot connect to the internet during initial setup, so I'm stuck at step one trying to add this base station to my network.
Anyone seen this before?
Thanks!
I know I could just connect the 3 new cameras to the original base station, but that will defeat the purpose of getting that extra base station - better wifi signals at the rear of the property.
Following is an update on the Arlo Service interruption. On Friday November 24, 2017 at approximately 11:00am Pacific time, we experienced a major service disruption which impacted Customer’s ability to access their Arlo Systems. Services were restored at approximately 2:00am Pacific Time, Saturday November 25 although some Customers may have continued to experience issues for several hours after the fix was implemented. If you are still experiencing an issue with your Arlo system, please contact support at: 1-(408)-638-3750. We sincerely apologize for this service interruption and it certainly does not reflect our standards of service availability. Our technical teams continue to work diligently to ensure services remain available and we are reviewing our internal processes and systems in order to prevent this from happening in the future. Again, we apologize and thank you for your patience.
Get some popcorn and enjoy reading about my drama with Arlo...
Eight months into using Arlo Pro base station with multiple cameras and no issues, all of a sudden the base station decides it no longer wants to connect online anymore. After following all the painful troubleshooting steps, and with the rest of my home network working just fine, all I get from the base station is a solid amber light for the internet connection. So naturally I try to follow through with customer support.
IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR, AND ARE CONSIDERING BUYING AN ARLO PRODUCT, TURN BACK NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. YOU WILL NOT GET ANY VIABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Here's what happened next:
1) I tried calling 408-638-3750 multiple times. I'd either get a "your call can't be completed as dialed" or the call would get picked up but just have straight silence. (Pay your VOIP bill, Arlo support.)
2) I tried starting a chat session, no luck there -- all it does is create a new browser window that does absolutely nothing other than give you a case number.
3) At this point I start thinking about my warranty options. Arlo has the warranty buried deep on its website, obviously on purpose to avoid accountability for its sham product.
4) Last but not least... penned a good old fashioned email asking for warranty support.
What are the odds this company will even bother to help me? Stay tuned, I'll let you all know if/when I get a response.
Yes I understand that but I'm trying to connect my box to the wifi and every time I try to turn it of them back on it goes yellow instead of green I'm wondering how to fix that and make it green
Perhaps it's a major device overload as you mention, but Arlo's customer care is totally absent. Really amazing how badly they dropped the ball on a home security product no less.

That was my point - it won't go green until the server issue is fixed. Mine was originally green and now is yellow no matter what I do. It's likely Arlo and not you.
i have the wifi issue. It started with the Arlo account login issue but now the wife connection with the basestation

There was an authentication server outage today (24 November). After the outage, I could log in to my Arlo app but my base station wouldn't connect to the internet. I performed a reset. Now it is hung up.
HELP!
Been waiting for a tech support rep to ansewer for 40 minutes already.
There was an earlier server problem that has been fixed. It could take a while to roll out to everyone. The middle led should turn green once successfully connected.
Just bought an Arlo Pro system but can't get the base station to connect. It keeps giving me a solid amber light. I've tried resetting the base station (three times!) and the support site offers no addition advice and there doesn't seem to be any chat support option. Any ideas?
