Connection Failed Issue on Web Portal

[ARLO_MD]

Any progress on this issue Netgear folks? https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Connection-Fail-Error-on-Web-Portal/td-p/1010621 To ward off the always-asked question... it is only on the web portal and I am using windows 10 x64 with latest Chrome. Any response after 3 years?

Try Fire Fox... it hasn't been an issue in a long time

[ARLO_MD]

I am not sure you can say it "hasn't been an issue in a while" when it only works on one platform. Why should I change my entire browsing environment for a bug that Netgear refuses to fix? Perhaps instead of offering half measures and half hearted work around, they fix their expensive products and deliver to their customers a reliable product as advertised.

Priorities?

I bet you're on a PC with Kaspersky antivirus. This has been reported and is a Kaspersky issue, blocking access to Arlo. Search here for solutions.

[ARLO_MD]

Nope. Disabled all antivirus, proxy, excursions, and ad blocking software.... Still doesn't work.

[jguerdat]

VPN?

[ARLO_MD]

Sigh... No.

[ARLO_MD]

Even if I did have a VPN, antivirus, ad blocker, and magic elf guarding my connection... Shouldn't Netgear field a product that is robust enough to address these issues? For this price, I say yes.

In my case, the website portal will periodically just stop working with the camera. My iPad and iPhone work fine, but the website portal just says "The device failed to connect. Please try again." Nothing will resolve the issue, emptying cache and hard reload, logout login, I've even tried logging in from different computers. There is just a bug with the web portal, but all the forums show a lack of effort to address complaints, so this is the last location I'll be spending my time.

Hey omarelnaggar,

Try using different browsers and incognito mode to see if that helped. Make sure your browsers are on the latest versions too. Otherwise, don't hesitate to contact our support team so they can help you out: Arlo Support

[omarelnaggar]

It happened again just now, and neither an incognito window, nor opening the site up in a different browser (Firefox instead of Chrome), nor on a different PC, resolved the issue.

I'll try Arlo Support, and will post here if they acknowledge that there's a bug that needs to be fixed.

[ARLO_MD]

Still no fix.

This is likely the 5th or 6th time access to log in from google chrome goes no where. Just sits on home screen after pressing log in. Other times it can take 10 seconds  Other times 5 seconds.  IE works ok. Smart phone access no problem. Me thinks there's unresolved bug with ongoing Chrome and Arlo log in issue.  A bit annoying since one hopes things of the computer world to be stable.  HA! I long gave up that expectation.

Arlo sign  in web portal started working after closing and restarting Chrome.  Ok for now.
