This is very disappointing. I can accept a few hours of a service interruption of this scale but not this length of time.
My Arlo's will be replaced with something more reliable.

This is a known issue on Arlo's end with no ETA on a fix.
My cameras have been down for 48 hours.

This is due to a widespread service interruption on Arlo’s end. My cameras have not been functioning for over 48 hours now.
Tech support is unable to provide me with an estimated time of restoration.

Ditto! Dump and replace seems like the only option. Arlo has worked solid until now and the foreign tech support doesn't fully understand issues when I call. There should be an "offline" option so you can view the cameras via WiFi without going through their "media servers". Netgear - FIX THIS!

I logged in to the Arlo portal tonight and received a message that there was a new firmware update for my Arlo Basestation (VMB3010r2).
I clicked on the update button and waited for the base station to update and come back online. The base station came back up and showed three green lights (power, internet and camera) but still showed as offline in the portal,
I tried cycling power on the base station and it still showed as offline in the portal, even though it had the three green lights.
I removed the device from my Arlo account and re-added it. It's now back online and the motion detection is successfully recording video clips. However, the live feed from the cameras is still not available as it still says "A firmware update is required for your base station and camera" and has the "Update Base Station" button. Going in to the Settings for the base station also shows me that a firmware update is available.
The weird bit is that the Arlo Portal says my base station is running firmware version 1.12.2.0_2790 with a release date of 3/25/2019.
The release notes for the latest firmware says the latest is 1.12.2.0_2790, released on 4/19/2019.
So, did the firmware not successfully update? If so, how do I fix that?
Did the 4/19 release of the firmware have the same version number as the 3/25 release? This seems odd...
And how do I get my live view of the cameras back....?

I was just posting a similar message. I get the message that there is a firmware update available for my base station on the Arlo Devices web page and I can't see the live view from the cameras.
However, I am already running firmware version 1.12.2.0_2790 but with a release date of 3/25. The new firmware appears to have the same version number but the release date of 4/19, according to the release notes post.
Would love to know how to fix this....

I have sent 3 complaints now and I am yet to get a single response from the support team. So I decided to share my pain in the community. Little wonder if they really have any solution to this goof. I
would be taking drastic steps on my fourth and final complaint to Arlo support and I am certain that it would cause some attention. I have given Arlo support only 48hrs from today to respond.

My system went offline. I rebooted the main and it came back up and shows the cameras on the app. When I click on the camera to connect it just keeps circling and doesn’t connect. Any Ideas what to do now?

Anybody from Arlo Team could comment it? It looks as an issue affecting many, if not all, users for longer than 24 hours.

Thank you for replying to this! (And thanks to everyone else who replied below as well). I'm glad it wasn't just me, I tried everything. That's 2-3 hours of my life I'll never get back.
My best guess was that the probelm was on their side. I opened a tech support case, which went unresolved. I'm not sure if they're even working on it. I'm hoping with all of these other reports, they will prioritize it.
Just like everyone, it was sometime after midnight on Thursday night (4/18) the outage started. So it's been down for 2 full days now, going into the 3rd (still not working on Sunday morning). I'm totally bummed!

I fully agree. Arlo is no any longer my recommended security provider based on this experience. I understand that they might have technical issues but not providing any announcement and expected resolution time is a shame. Many people are wasting time by restarts, resynchs etc. due to lack of information from Arlo side.

Go into settings... you should see a notice by the camera or base as to an update.
If it is an app and just doesn't go away, force stop the app and restart ( or uninstall and install )

I heard someone in my garage at 4:30am this morning. I opened the ARLO app and was relieved to see that Arlo was ARMED however there were no recordings and I could not live stream from the camera.
I reset my Comcast router and the Arlo basestation - still no joy. I logged into the arlo.com website and that's when I receved the "There was a problem establishing a connection to the media server".
I have 18 cameras, none of them can be accessed.
I called support and they tell me that this is a known problem and has been for 3-days. WTF - no email or phone calls to let me know that my security system is down. Liability.
Netgear has turned my 18--camera investment into a pile of junk and repeatedly told me during my support phone call that there will be no refund or credit for my service.
I need a better answer and an escalation please.
oh, thankfully the person in my garage was my wife.

As others have stated...if running a Pro/Pro2 with base, check the USB backup as they have had recordings there.
( which is how the system is supposed to work if internet is down )

When I contacted support this morning they told me the issue has been going for three (3) days now. I only started experiencing the issue yesterday morning (no recordings but there should have been). Unfortunately I only became aware of the failure at 4:30am this morning when I heard noises coming from my garage. That's when I could not access live streaming and noticed there had been no recordings (even though the system was armed).
Can you believe support wanted to ask me a dozen questions about my phone but had nothing to say about Netgear's media servers being out of service - and refused to provide a credit for my service (I have a 20 camera subscription).
Did you receive any kind of proactive notification from Netgear or Arlo that your system may be out-of-service? I didn't.
Mike.
