Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my recent experience with my Arlo devices after a Xfinity outage. For about 10 days, my cameras, essential doorbell, and Chime 2 weren’t being detected by the Arlo network, even though they were connected to Wi-Fi. It was frustrating because I’ve been using Arlo since the first-gen cameras in 2016 without any issues.
After days of troubleshooting, resetting routers, and even replacing them twice, I finally convinced Xfinity to send a technician. Despite their tests showing no issues, the problem persisted. However, during the technician’s visit, they noticed buffering on my TV and other devices, which led them to discover the root cause.
The solution was installing a Moca filter on the cable line. This filter eliminated the noise on the network, allowing my Arlo devices to connect without any problems. Since then, I haven’t had a single issue with my cameras or doorbell!
I wanted to share this in case anyone else is experiencing similar problems. It was a bit of a journey, but it’s great to have everything working smoothly again. The Moca filter cost around $20, which was well worth it for the peace of mind.
Thanks to the technician who stuck with it and helped me figure this out. It’s always reassuring to know that with a little persistence, even the trickiest issues can be resolved.
Best regards,
