Was able to connect the bridge to my wifi. The firmware updated and now it will not connect at all. I have done a hard reset. The app will see the bridge but will not connect to the wifi. Yes my wifi is dual band 2.4/5.0. I am running out of options and just ready to take this back.
There was an issue on our end that prevented some users from claiming new light kits that should now be resolved. If you were previously unable to sync lights with a new Arlo Security Light kit, please try again now and let me know if you experience any issues.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
You mention you hard reset the device, did you also remove the device from Settings > My Devices within the Arlo app? What is the LED behavior on the bridge if you unplug it and plug it back in.
What happened after the firmware update that made you reset the bridge?
Thank you for the reply. The bridge is solid piurple when booting up and then goes blank, I can now see it in the arlo app settings but none of the lights will connect. I plug in the fully charged battery, hold sync, it flashes blue a few times then green a few times (at the same time the bridge is flashing) and then goes blank and it can not find any of the lights.
The green flash you describe seeing from the light is an indication that the sync is successful. Try pairing the light again and then check Settings > My Devices to see if the light appears even if you do not see the "Light added!" success screen.
Has anyone got a fix for this yet. I spent 2 hours with tech support Sunday trying to get them the lights to sync and then he told me I needed a new bridge and said just to return them to Costco and get another set. I'm on my 2nd set now and still can't sync any lights. The bridge show to be set up right and connected but I always get a failed to discover when syncing the lights even though it blinks green 3 times
The engineering team is currently investigating reports of users having difficulty syncing lights to their bridge. I will provide an update as soon as I know more. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
If possible, could you provide the serial numbers for your Arlo Security Lights that are failing to sync? You can find this serial number inside the battery compartment of the light on a sticker labeled as S/N.
For what it is worth: I returned and then purchased a new set from Costco. The second set works just fine.
It would be nice to know, when a thread has elevated a previous customers complaint, what the result was from that. Ultimately, it cost me a couple of hours of headache but now that I have a working set, I think they're a great compliment to an already great security system.

We implemented a fix over the weekend that should resolve this issue. If possible, make sure your bridge is connected and attempt the sync again. If you're still experiencing an issue, let me know and I will provide engineering with this information.
What was the resolution for this issue? I've gone through all the steps in the FAQ and from Arlo Chat expert and the bridge still won't connect.
My bridge connected initially, firmware updated and worked fine. Had to do a factory reset and now I cannot get the bridge to connect. Have been on chat with ARLO support (Case 40493581) and they suggested I return everything to Amazon.
I'm using an Android Smartphone to connect, 2.4Ghz, 2 feet from router. Bridge goes blue, then fails to connect and goes back to blinking Amber. Have done the factory reset at 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds based on Chat feedback from Arlo. Still nothing.
It sounds like the issue could be due to the device not factory resetting properly. When factory resetting, unplug the bridge then plug it back in (you should get a solid purple LED). While the LED is solid purple, hold the sync button in until the LED turns amber. For factory reset instructions, take a look here: How do I perform a factory reset on my Arlo Bridge?
Now your bridge is ready to be claimed again (go through the same process that you did when you first set up your lights). Take a look at the video step by step here: How to Set Up the Arlo Security Light System
