Base station will not connect to internet

[galevelasco]

I restarted it because one of the cameras would not connect. The base station shows a solid amber light. I reset my router and Arlo multiple times. Any more ideas why it won't connect? Thanks

Used a paperclip to reset the base station unit with the sync at the same time with no positive results.

Powered the unit down for 15 minutes, then powered on no positive results.

Re-synched the cameras and reset, no positive results.

Hopfully it's not a show stopper as I don't want to use Dropcam or other options as they quite honestly aren't as robust as arlo.

I just did the reset with sync down, waited for green light to go out ( all lights blinked amber ) then the power light went amber for 1 minute then back to green but No other lights are on

Have completed a install of a new system I picked up from Best Buy... Windows 8.1 Netgear C6300.
Have never been able to get a green network light on base, only amber. I have unplugged the power, conducted the hard reset you referenced. Reset my router, opened ports 80-443. Rebooted my PC...Nothing....Guess I'm headed back to Best Buy.....In theory the system sounded great...

[jguerdat]

Bad Ethernet cable? Have you tried rebooting the router? Used a different port to connect the base station to the router? Do you have any custom configuration for the router (static IP addresses, MAC address filtering, etc.)? I have TW and haven't had the need to open ports (a bad idea unless you know exactly what you're doing and why).

[Jody]

Yes, new cables, different port, Rebooted router, base and PC.

[metrex]

have tried every option in the book with no luck..    Just w ant an NEW base station..

HOW??

[Conor]

Just got the Arlo, I tried to connect to network without success, tried to reset it several times, reset router, the serial number is 48E1537A04E5, any ideas 

[metrex]

I got another BaseStation just the station without the power supply and it is NOT mew refurnished And I still have the same problem. I've reset to factory setting with no luck. Remember this problem was caused by Deauthorizing the unit with my Cel phone app. I think the problem Lies with authorizing the unit again. I've tried everything possible

[metrex]

I have the same problem. I have tried EVERY thing possible with no success. Worked with customer service for two days and no luck.
If you find a solution to your problem please let me know so as to implement your solution to my baseStation Thanks for your time.

[metrex]

Can customer service help me to get this thing running please.

[ChristineT]

Good afternoon Metrex,

I can try to assist you here, but depending on the complexity of your issue we may need to go through our Support Center to get your issue resolved. Can you send me a private message with the Base Station serial number? Can you also provide what the LEDs look like on the base station? Will will help us better understand the issue and potentially isolate the issue.

I look forward to your message!

Best Regards,

Christine

Hi. I am still waiting for your call. For now I have 2 stations and both have the same problem. NO INTERNET.

[CaigB]

I am having the same problem here today.  The unit was working 2 days ago and now it will not connect.  I have tried all of the reset trick listed in this thread but nothing is working.  Everything off and then back on, resets on modem and base station.  Don't understand how it can be working fine out of the box and 2 days later nothing?

Please help!

[CaigB]

My base station # is 48B1527A1F92B.  NMeed help!

[jguerdat]

Don't know if tech support is open today but a trouble ticket may be the fastest way.

Hi

I have 3 cameras, one was not syncing, to resolve the issue did factory reset (holding sync button) and then on my base station doesn't connect to internet, keeps showing offline.

I tried all options in the forum, no luck

Appreciate any inputs.

Something Odd,

Base statation doesn't connect to internet, shows offline, and one camera detected motion and sent a alert with good recording for 10 seconds.

I tried to restart base station & options on forum, still it shows offline & can't see my cameras active.

[JohnR]

Good day Raja, 

According to our data center report your base station and camera(s) are now online. Please update the firmware of your camera by following this link: 

What do I need to know about Arlo camera firmware updates?

I have the same problem. Been working fine for 3 months now all of a sudden its saying offline and has an amber internet light. Done all the power cycling, resetting, changing cables etc etc. It is getting an IP from the router and my upload speed is 4.8mbps.  No changes to any router settings or anything at all.

Problem is completely out of the blue and by the number of other people here having the same problem it seems like Netgear may have a very faulty product!

i have had my Arlo for 8 weeks, yesterday Base will not connect to internet, tried everything for  about 5 hours,

they tried to tell me its my modem, but in the end they agreed its the Faulty Base

Amber light will not go green, will send it back when i get confirmation from them, how long who knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
