screaminchicken,
Do you have any details regarding the issues you are experiencing? Have you tried to reboot your base station? What firmware is your base station & cameras running?

I have rebooted more times than I care to count. The system has worked fine for two years or more. No changes have been made to the internet connection. The system will boot up and connect online and everything works but within minutes it goes offline again. When it is online at least one of three cameras is showing as offline, different camera each time. When I sync the offline camera briefly comes online again and then the whole system goes offline.
firmware is 1.2.21616 for the cameras and 1.11.9.0_26520 for the base station and is apparently all up to date
I'm no tecky but my suspicion is that the last update screwed everything up

Then I noticed similar complaints from others on here. I researched and almost all had one same common denominator. All including myself had upgraded to the Arlo Smart plan. That subscription up grade is exactly the time my problems began.
I quickly cancelled my Smart plan subscription and went back to the free basic plan. Within 2 minutes I had full uninterrupted base station connection and video recording of all events on all cameras.
The problem is Arlos Smart Plan subscription, it wreaks havoc with internet connections and video recording. Use the free basic plan only until Arlo gets their Smart Plan software fixed.

Flashing amber is a problem - never seen that before. Try a reset by holding the reset button until the LEDs flash amber. Remove everything in Settings, My Devices and start fresh. If the same thing happens, open a case with support here for faulty hardware.

I have read about the devices getting constantly offline and the batteries just running out of juice way too fast but I have not read how to correct this. Somebody said to go back to Arlo Basic plan but this is what I have always had.
need help!! I am sooo frustrated with this!
my device is a VMB3010r2 firmware 1.12.0.0_27099
I am not techie at all so please speak “human” haha

Thanks for this. I have reset, deleted all devices and then began reconnecting. I can connect one camera before the system goes offline again!
i think I have isolated the problem though. Netgear markets Arlo as an internet based wireless security camera system that you can access anywhere at any time.
I have highlighted some of the slightly misleading elements of the description

Hi ShayneS. I see that you are an Arlo employee. Any further update since your original post asking for more information?

screaminchicken,
Have you tried a new Ethernet cable and a different port on the router?

Hi ShayneS
still no contact whatsoever from the Arlo "Support" team despite me providing you with both my email address and contact telephone number. Are you able to advise how I might get a full refund for a system that was sold to me with basic expectations that now fails to deliver on any level?
thanks
