Base says offline no Internet connection

[Kreeper256]

I just bought mines yesterday I was wondering if this happens a lot cause I'm thinking about taking it back

Other than today's outage, I haven't had issues with the base station staying connected to the internet. It is possible Netgear/Arlo is having issues or may even be their AWS cloud provider.  Earlier today I was receiving authentication errors when trying to connect from my mobile app to see my cameras.  The same thing was happening on the website from my computer too.  Even though the authentication issue seems to be resolved, my base station hasn't successfully connected since all of this started today.  I have rebooted all my internet equipment with no change.  Netgear/Arlo really needs a status page so their users aren't unnecessarily reseting their system and getting very frustrated.

Netgear is having server issues.  Some users are already ok because the servers they're are fixed; others not yet.

will servers be fixed by tomorrow???   😞

Some servers are back ok and the users, myself included, are back in business; other servers are still being worked on.

My base station is finally back online.  However, the authentication issue is back and I can't get logged into my mobile app.  This is a massive fail for Netgear/Arlo.
