I followed the instructions and have the video doorbell operational except it will not connect to my 2.4 wifi network. As per the instructions, using my phone app, the bell light is solid white, I enter my specific network info, and press the doorbell which causes the white leds to flash, I take a snapshot of the code displayed on the phone with the doorbell camera, which chimes on the phone as the instructions indicate, and then I wait for the sync to happen...
I noted after a period of time passes that the leds turn red.. and then solid white, but the app indicates the phone doesn't sync. I've completed the process about 20 times all with the same result.
I'm on 2.11 version of the app released 11/11/19
I called Arlo Support and they say they'll call me back within 24 to 48 hours!
How about THAT support?? My front doorbell system doesn't work... and I wait a couple of days..
Solved! Go to Solution.

I had the same issue with mine. GeraldG fix is how I got mine to finally work too. Had to change to an SSID that did not have any special characters. My guess is they have a bug (either in the linking or QR code) that does not support special characters. They are going to need to get this fixed or they are going to get a lot of returns (I returned my first one because of this issue).

I think the key was the QR code! I have mixed network with 2.4ghz and 5ghz on the same SSID and the router QR code worked for me. I also have a special character in my SSID and I did not have to change that either

Long difficult attempt to connect including turning off 5Ghz channels, multiple resets, eliminating extenders, all to no avail. The FIX was removing spaces and special characters from SSID name. It may be related to the QR code, but it worked for me. This dovetails with some other responses which suggest using different QR code generator (I tried this unsuccessfully) and with success reported by setting up guest network without spaces or special characters. The guest network solution without spaces was suggested by tech support which leads me to believe that it is a known issue. Guest network will not always work with apple AirPort Extreme since guest network requires that Airport be the primary router. Easier to change SSID name on main network. Hope this helps someone else.

Ashepp3,
I'd like to take a look at your support ticket and escalate if needed. Do you have a ticket number I can reference?

Bought the video doorbell the other day, the instructions etc were great until it came time to connect to my network. I attempted multiple times and no luck. Was on the phone 3 times with different useless tech support people. The last guy said someone would call back in an hour and never did. This wasted about 3 hours of my life....I got it to work on my own. Unsure what the problem was but here is what I did..
1) log into your router and turn off the 5G if you have that.
2) generate your own QR code to access your wifi ( I think this was the big problem), once I did this it connected right away.
3) once connected turn 5G back on if you want

FWIW, mine connected fine w/o disabling 5G.
However, I manually entered the SSID and password - I didn't use a QR code. Also my SSID/password doesn't include spaces or unusual characters.

I just spent 8 hours fighting with my new video doorbell ... only to realize that it wants a dedicated DHCP assignment on my local wifi router before the installation sequence will complete. Otherwise, it would just get stuck trying to sync to the base station until the process timed-out.
Apparently, it doesn't want to change IP addresses ... ever.

It didn't require that for me. I haven't reserved an address for the doorbell in my Orbi router (and I also didn't need to turn off the 5 ghz wifi network).

To create the Wi-Fi network QR code, first visit https://qifi.org. Type in the name of your network and your password, then click on Generate. The web app will generate the QR code which you can print or screenshot.
