Arlo base station not connected to the internet.

Tonight I tried to access my cameras and I received the "Arlo base station not connected to the internet" message on my phone.  I've been using Arlo for a while and never had this happen.  I've made no changes to the settings and the system has been working fine until now.  The message also said to make sure I was connected to my router and I have confirmed this and, in addition, my router is working fine, all other devices conected to the router are working great.  All three lights are green and I have performed a reset with the reset button on the back of the base station.  I have also tried a different port on the router, turned the power off and then back on, and tried a different LAN connection...nothing has corrected this problem.  Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.  I really don't want to deactivate the base station and go through the setup routine again.

I'm glad I checked this site and see it isn't just me. I have been racking my brain. I will wait for arlo to resolve it. I opened a support request for them.

Arlo should send out an email to customers or at least post a message on their customer portal when they have an outage.

+1 having the same issues... I tried uninstalling the iphone app making sure it was not the app.. then when I reinstall it, it was taking ages to download the app.. so looks like it is a server issue....

I hear ya aeroxill. I've had my system for 6 months and have had no problems until this issue. I'm disappointed thar arlo doesn't get a communication out if they are having server or network issues. It would have saved a lot of us a lot of wasted time not to mention time some if gave to take to set it back up when they are back up since we reset our base stations.

Basestation Offline. I tried resetting the devices I have the app on, resetting the Basestation, resetting the modem, and resetting router. I even restarted the computer that I use. Nothing worked.

Check out the other post. We are all having the same problem. Don't waste your time. The problem appears to be on arlo's server.

I'm in the North Eastern part of the country. Just checking to see if this is a regional server probably (if there even is such a thing).

Mid Atlantic here; if they are using a single local sever farm it will effect all users regardless of region.

this same issue started at around midnight for me....I really hope it gets fixed soon. I'm not confident about arlo's support and customer service.

From Netgear support line in Australia: 
"Arlo is experiencing an outage at the moment, and no technicians are available to assist. please observe the connection within 24 hours"

Well that was a waste of $500.
