We have identified a DNS issue with certain Internet Service Providers that is causing connection to the Arlo app to fail. We are continuing to monitor the situation, and in the meantime we have identified a temporary workaround.

 

  • Use a mobile device to connect to the Arlo app with Wi-Fi turned off (use cellular data/LTE). Please note that this option will use data from your cellular plan.

 

Some users have reported success logging into their Arlo app by updating their DNS settings to a public DNS server. For assistance with changing your DNS settings, it is recommended to contact your ISP.

As part of our ongoing investigation and with the help of our Community and Social users, we’ve uncovered that the Arlo app login issue is only affecting some customers on some service providers.

 

If you are seeing the message “We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable. Please try again later” and are willing to help us troubleshoot by providing us with your service provider (wifi or cellular carrier) and device type (iOS, android, web app). Please reply to this thread.

We are looking into reports that some users are still seeing the error "We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable.  Please try again later" or "cannot log in due to internet connectivity issues". This does not affect library recordings or any previously set modes and rules. We are continuing to investigate this issue, and will keep you updated here on this thread. 

_____________________________________________

 Important Update 5/27/18 @ 11:00PM Pacific:

 

Some users had trouble logging into their Arlo apps earlier today, however, this did not affect library recordings or any previously set modes and rules. All systems are now up and running as expected. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused."

We wanted to provide you with an update on the current login issue some users are experiencing where you may be unable to login to your Arlo apps, or are seeing the message “We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable.  Please try again later". We are still actively investigating this issue and are working towards a resolution. Thank you for your continued patience. We will continue to update this thread as we have more information.

Intermittent logon issues using iOS (iPhone / iPad).     Arlo APP release 2.5.1.      WiFi using SPECTRUM,  NETGEAR Nighthawk router.    Same behavior accessing outside of WiFi with AT&T.      Was successful a short time ago but then started failing again.

I have been trying everything to figure this problem of login issue.  Arlo.netgear.com's server IP address could not be found.  All I ask is please figure it out.  Can you please update to community when a projected time of this issue being fixed, this would help out so many.  I had also found out that If I turned off my wi-fi on my phone I have been able to bring up my devices and not receive Sorry: we are having trouble sighing you in becuase of Internet connectivity issues. Do you want to try again.  I thought it was my internet company issue. Just a little frustrating trying to figure this out to find out it wasnt mine but Arlo.  Please let us know what is going on.

While Arlo is doing an open-ended science project with service providers, I will pack up my system and return to Sam's Club tomorrow for a refund - then find a different product that actually works.

My service provider is Spectrum

My IPad with IOS 11.3.1 is still not working and I'm getting the unavailable message

My IMAC also using Spectrum as the service provider is getting the message "having trouble finding that site" 

 

I've restarted my devices and the problem still exists.

Folks are responding with isp, phone type, etc. all good stuff. Now tell us what you’ve done in the last 5 min other than press the little green button. Delete app, reboot phone, download app, select NO to Touch ID login. Mine has been working for 30 min- on WIFI. iPhone X, Charter ISP.

Trying to change my password as recommended for recent security concerns, however I can't log in through my app or the arlo.netgear website. My Arlo app tells me there are "internet security issues" and arlo.netgear "cannot connect to the server". Trying to figure out if the problem is on my end, my service provider's or Netgear's.

Thanks

Kudos to MikeDaCajun. His fix a few posts back works, but only if you can access the Hosts file. Some of us also use work computers that have access to the Hosts file locked out without a call to corporate IT to get a ticket opened, which will likely be denied because it's not considered essential use. So we're stuck with using the app on our phones, except it doesn't work either.

 

I'm north of Tampa. Arlo Pro 2. Mine has failed on Frontier Fios using Chrome and Internet Explorer on different computers. It also failed connected through a Verizon personal hot spot. I could get Mike's fix to work on my home laptop, but my work laptop isn't accessible because of corporate security locking up the system files. The app on Android 7.0 on my phone just keeps crashing and restarting very quickly, over and over.

 

This may be the last straw for me. I came home today to find that my front porch had been vandalized, yet I couldn't access the videos to see who had done it. This system is a complete waste of money if it's not going to work when I need it. I think it's time to start writing reviews on every site I can find that sells this garbage system.

Wifi is Frontier

Cell Service provider is Verizon

 

Your arlo web page will not come up either to reset passwords

 

Very frusturating.

I just read the updates on this issue. I am sorry but mine still will not sign in through my WiFi. You claim all issues resolved. My browser can't even find your website. I am able to access full functions through my cell phone provider-AT&T. My isp- Spectrum- seems to be having trouble with your network.

I have an arlo baby camera. We have not been able to log in since yesterday, as we keep getting the internet connectivity issue error. (Attached)

I have verified we are correctly connected to our WiFi and the signal has been tested. We have spectrum internet and are in California.
