Trying to set up my base station and it keeps telling me Arlo is unavailable even though my computer can detect the station.

if the 3 left most leds are green, try a different browser like Fire Fox.

Try turning off/uplug your modem, router and base.  Turn them back on in that order.  Did that help?

I am trying to register the product

 

base station has been recognized and I am trying to set up an account and keep getting the message

'arlo currently unavailable'

 

I have also had the message that passwords not recognized; I have re-entered and then had the message

that Arlo is unavailable

 

Is your live chat available in Europe ?

The Live chat will not accept European telephone numbers - I get a message that the number is not valid

for French / Swiss and UK numbers

DOES NOT WORK - AVOID AT ALL COSTS

 

Spent $800 for the 6 camera system with replacement warranty. Tried setting up through Android phone.

 

Result: "We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable, please try again later."

 
Tried on computer with Firefox:
 
Result: "We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable, please try again later."
 
Safari:
 
Result: "We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable, please try again later."
 
Chrome (at the insistance of the tech support):
 
Result: "We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable, please try again later."
 
Tech support did the usual "reboot everything, unplug, plug in, reset (base station, modem, etc)"
 
Result: "We're sorry, Arlo is currently unavailable, please try again later."
 
Utter and complete crap. Going back in the box and getting my money back.

works for many of us.

could be many causes for your issue.  Didn't tech support want to troubleshoot further?
