The mode section says "Getting Information" and never changes.  I can't get on with my phone or the computer.  How do I reset this?

I have the same problem since this this morning. I use 13 cameras and 3 stations. And the support is asking for a screenshot of the speed. Really funny support.

I have the same problem since this morning.

I can't change the mode with my iphone but it's possible with my PC.

I use 1 station with 8 cameras.

Same probleme here! I can connect to my account and see my modes on my computer, but when I tap on the "modes" icon in both the Ipad and Iphone apps, all I see is the message "Obtention des informati..." (in french version of the app)... Even when I try to go on the web portal on these devices, all I see is a "Loading" message under the Arlo Logo...

 

It worked two days ago when I set it all up, but not today...

Same problem here,

 

Only reply two days ago: "can you perform a speedtest of your internet connection". What I did.

 

I answered : 189 mbit/s in download and 19mbit/s in upload....

 

From that answer total silence from support...

 

I would like that a engineer tell me what is happening. I have to go in holyday tomorrow, I bought this system to secure my house but I still can configurate properly in going in the modes and rules.

 

I feel my money has been stolen.

 

All my hardware at home is performant, my connection is fast but........ Arlo's system doesnt respond.....

 

I wait for a commercial gesture from Netgear: Ill go on holyday with my house unsafe. Could someone from the support call me or send me a real email? Not a pseudo answer on a support.

 

Best regard,

I tried to remove all the accents in the name of my modes (I use the french version of the app)... I had to connect to my profile with a computer to do this... And it seems to be working... I have access to my modes again on the iphone and ipad apps... Maybe you should try to connect to your account on a computer and try to modify the names of your modes... And tell us if it works for you too!

With the IOS app :

- we cannot access & change selected mode (ON/OFF) in the "Mode section"

- we cannot access & change rules in the "Parameters section"

 

With the web interface (arlo.netgear.com) :

- we can access & change selected mode (ON/OFF) in the "Mode section"

- we cannot access & change rules in the "Parameters section"

While there are Arlo/Netgear employees here, I don't count on forums to be the real problem solver.  That's what contact with support through the established channel is for.  I'd recommend a dual path - post here but also open a trouble ticket.
