If you're experiencing issues connecting your Arlo camera to your network, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue. First, check to make sure that your Arlo camera is within range of your router. If it's too far away, it won't be able to connect. Second, check to see if there are any other devices on your network that are using up a lot of bandwidth. If so, this could be causing your Arlo camera to have difficulty connecting. Finally, make sure that your router's firmware is up to date. If it's not, this could be causing your connection issues. If you've tried all of these things and you're still having trouble, you can contact Arlo support for help.
Why won't my Arlo camera connect to the internet?
If your Arlo camera won’t connect to the internet, there are a few potential reasons why. Below, we’ll go over some of the most common reasons and what you can do to fix them.
1. Check Your Internet Connection
The first thing you should do if your Arlo camera won’t connect to the internet is to check your internet connection. Make sure that your router is turned on and that there is a strong internet connection.
2. Check the Camera’s Distance from the Router

Why won't my Arlo camera connect to my router?
There are a few reasons why your Arlo camera might not be connecting to your router. The first reason is that your router might not be compatible with Arlo. To check if your router is compatible, you can check Arlo's list of compatible routers. The second reason is that your router might be too far away from your Arlo camera. Arlo cameras have a range of up to 300 feet, so if your router is too far away, the signal might not be strong enough. Finally, there might be something blocking the signal between your router and your Arlo camera. This could be anything from a thick concrete wall to a metal filing cabinet. If you think there might be something blocking the signal, you can try moving your router and camera closer together, or moving the router to a different location.
Why won't my Arlo camera connect to my computer?
One of the main reasons why your Arlo camera might not be connecting to your computer is because of the way that the camera is set up. The Arlo camera is designed to connect to a specific type of wireless router, and if you're using a different type of router, the camera might not be able to connect. Another possibility is that the Arlo camera is not receiving enough power from the router. If the router is not providing enough power to the camera, the camera will not be able to connect.
If you're having trouble connecting your Arlo camera to your computer, the first thing you should do is make sure that the camera is properly set up. If you're using a different type of router than the one that the camera is designed for, you might need to get a different router. Alternatively, you can try moving the camera closer to the router. If the camera is not receiving enough power, moving it closer to the router might help.
If you're still having trouble connecting your Arlo camera to your computer, you can try connecting the camera to a different computer. If the camera can connect to a different computer, it's likely that the problem is with the first computer. If the camera can't connect to any computer, the problem is probably with the camera itself. In this case, you can try resetting the camera.
Why is my Arlo camera not connecting wirelessly?
If you're experiencing issues with your Arlo camera not connecting wirelessly, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue. First, check to make sure that your Arlo camera is within range of your wireless router. If it is, try resetting your Arlo camera and your wireless router. If that doesn't work, try connecting your Arlo camera to your router with an Ethernet cable. If you're still having issues, it's possible that your wireless router is not compatible with your Arlo camera. You can check the list of compatible wireless routers on the Arlo website.
Why won't my Arlo camera connect to my phone?
Arlo cameras are one of the most popular home security cameras on the market, but they can be quite finicky when it comes to connecting to your phone. There are a few different reasons why your Arlo camera might not be connecting to your phone, and we'll go over some of the most common ones below.
The first reason why your Arlo camera might not be connecting to your phone is because of a weak Wi-Fi signal. If your router is located far away from your camera, or if there are walls or other obstructions between your router and camera, this can cause a weak Wi-Fi signal which can prevent your camera from connecting to your phone. If you suspect that a weak Wi-Fi signal is the issue, try moving your router closer to your camera or removing any obstructions between your router and camera.
Another common reason why your Arlo camera might not be connecting to your phone is because the camera is not powered on. Be sure to check that your camera is powered on by looking at the power indicator light on the front of the camera. If the power indicator light is not lit, press the power button to turn on your camera.
If your Arlo camera is still not connecting to your phone after trying the troubleshooting steps above, it's possible that there is an issue with your camera's firmware. To check for a firmware update, open the Arlo app on your phone and go to the Settings menu. From there, select the Camera tab and then select your camera from the list. If there is a firmware update available, you'll see an option to update your camera's firmware.
Firmware updates can often fix connection issues, so be sure to install any updates that are available. If there are no updates available, or if updating your firmware does not fix the issue, you can try factory resetting your camera. To factory reset your camera, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds. This will erase all of the data on your camera, so be sure to back up any important files before doing this.
If you've tried all of the troubleshooting steps above and your Arlo camera still will not connect to your phone, there may be a problem with your camera itself. In this case, you can try contacting Arlo customer support for help.
Why won't my Arlo camera stay connected?
If you're experiencing issues with your Arlo camera staying connected, there are a few possible reasons why. First, it's important to make sure that your Arlo camera is placed in an optimal location. If the camera is too far away from your router or if there are obstructions between the camera and router, this can interfere with the signal and cause the camera to disconnect. Additionally, if you have multiple devices on your WiFi network, this can also cause connectivity issues for your Arlo camera. Try disconnecting some of your other devices from your WiFi network to see if this improves the connection for your camera.
Another possible reason why your Arlo camera keeps disconnecting is that the firmware on your camera is outdated. Firmware is the software that runs on your camera and keeps it up-to-date with the latest features and security fixes. You can check to see if there's a new firmware update available for your camera by logging into your account on the Arlo website. If there's an update available, follow the instructions on the website to install it on your camera.
Finally, if you're still having issues with your Arlo camera staying connected, you can try resetting the camera. This will clear any potential software issues that could be causing the camera to disconnect. To reset your Arlo camera, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds. Once the camera has reset, you will need to reconfigure it and reconnect it to your WiFi network.
If you've tried all of these troubleshooting steps and your Arlo camera still won't stay connected, there may be an issue with the camera itself. In this case, you may need to contact customer support for assistance.
Why does my Arlo camera keep disconnecting?
There are a few reasons that could be causing your Arlo camera to keep disconnecting. First, check to see if the batteries in your camera are low and need to be replaced. If the batteries are fine, then the next thing to check is the range of your camera. If the camera is too far away from the base station, it can lose the connection. Another thing to check is the strength of your Wi-Fi signal. If the signal is weak, the camera can lose the connection. Finally, make sure that there are no obstructions between the camera and the base station that could be causing the signal to drop.
Why won't my Arlo camera connect to my base station?
If your Arlo camera won't connect to your base station, there are a few potential causes. First, make sure that your base station is powered on and connected to your router. If it is, try restarting your Arlo camera. If that doesn't work, you may need to reset your base station. To do that, unplug the power cord from the back of the base station, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. Once your base station has restarted, try connecting your camera again.
If you're still having trouble, it's possible that your router is blocking access to your base station. To check, log into your router's settings and look for a list of blocked devices. If you see your base station listed, try removing it from the list and restarting your router. Once your router is back up and running, try connecting your camera again.
If you're still having problems, it's possible that there's an issue with your Internet connection. To troubleshoot, try restarting your modem and router. If that doesn't work, contact your Internet service provider to see if they are experiencing any outages in your area.
Once you've ruled out all of the potential causes, if your Arlo camera still won't connect to your base station, you may need to factory reset your camera. To do that, press and hold the reset button on the back of the camera for 10 seconds. Once the reset is complete, try connecting your camera again.
Why is my Arlo camera not connecting to my NVR?
If you are having issues connecting your Arlo camera to your NVR, it is likely due to one of a few possible reasons. First, make sure that your NVR and camera are powered on and that they are connected to the same network (i.e. via Ethernet or Wi-Fi). If they are, then the issue may be with the NVR's connection to the internet. Try restarting your router and modem, and then check to see if the NVR and camera are still having issues connecting to each other. If they are, then the next step would be to check the Ethernet cable between the NVR and router to ensure that it is properly plugged in and that there are no loose connections. Finally, if you are still having issues, it is possible that the NVR and camera are not compatible with each other. In this case, you will need to purchase a new NVR that is compatible with your camera.
