My internet went down yesterday for an extended time. It has been restored but my entire Arlo system is down. I’m currently out of state and have no way to reboot it.

Is there a way to reset the base station remotely?

Unfortunately not.

 

Some here have connected the base to a smartplug so they can power cycle it remotely.

 

One challenge is that the cameras will drain pretty quickly when the base wifi disappears, as they begin actively scanning for it.  I protect the base (and my router) with a UPS which normally will keep things running, and at least give my local recordings. Of course, eventually the UPS battery will drain.
