I purchased an Arlo wired video doorbell and from day one I cannot get the audio to work. That was not an irritant as much. The door bell since stopped working and would not connect to base. I have tried numerous times connecting it to hub and even directly to router, but of no avail. Reviewing the feedback from other customers, I think this product is very POORLY designed and the company did not rectify all the issues before commercialization. This experience has been very frustrating.

Did you swap at the store in case it was a faulty doorbell? Did you use Settings, Support to contact official support to possibly start an RMA?

No, I did not swap at the store. I worked with Arlo for a replacement and that also did not last too long. Initially, it worked well and then the hub light started flashing orange and it stopped recognizing this bell. I have tried all avenues of uninstalling and re-installing the bell but still no fix. I also tried to bypass the hub and connect it directly to router.
I had recently purchased 4 Ultra 2 cameras to build a network which continue to work well with the hub. So, the hub is not defective.
I would appreciate your honest feedback and strong technical support so that I don't have to continue to face this issue of a dysfunctional equipment.
Thanks
Kevin

FWIW, neither @jguerdat nor I work for Arlo.
My own AVD1001 is connected through a VMB5000 smarthub. It remains connected, and audio is working. The door frame is wrapped with metal, and there is also a metal screen door. There are also some inconveniently placed floor-to-ceiling pipes along the signal path.
I see more video corruption on the doorbell than I do on my other cameras. I believe this is largely due to the metal blocking the wifi signal. It's not the only camera covering the entrance, so I can live with it. But at some point I will switch it over to my home mesh wifi, and see if that works better.

Thanks both. While it is good to hear that you dont have the issues i experience with the door bell, I still do not know what is needed to fix this issue with my door bell.

I am thinking that you need to remove it from the account, do a reset, and then attempt to re-add it. Though I suspect you've already tried that.
I am also wondering about power, since two doorbells have failed to stay connected - perhaps replacing the transformer would help.
You could of course open a new support case, and request another RMA.

Thanks Steve for input. I tried the rebooting option a few times. I checked the power with volt meter and it’s within specs. How do you open a new RMA? With all the consumer complaints listed here, I am now skeptical of the quality. Thanks again.

You'd have to go into the support area of the app, and contact support again. I suggest the phone option, so you can avoid the chat bot.
