If you need to update the Wi-Fi network on your Arlo camera, you’ll need to do it for each device individually. Follow these steps to switch your Arlo camera to a new Wi-Fi network.

Open the Arlo App

  1. Launch the Arlo app on your phone.
  2. Tap the Settings wheel for the camera you want to update.

Change the Network

  1. Look for the section labeled Connected To—this shows the current Wi-Fi network.
  2. Scroll down and tap Change Network (this option is slightly hidden at the bottom).

Connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Network

  1. Make sure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, as Arlo cameras do not support 5GHz networks.
  2. If Wi-Fi is turned off on your phone, the Arlo app will not detect available networks. Turn Wi-Fi back on and reconnect to your home network.

Enter Your Wi-Fi Credentials

  1. The app will autofill your current Wi-Fi network.
  2. Type in your Wi-Fi password and tap Continue.

Sync the Camera

  1. If required, locate the Sync button on your Arlo camera (placement varies by model).
  2. Press and hold the Sync button for two seconds until the camera’s light starts flashing blue.
  3. Use the Arlo app to scan the QR code displayed on your phone with the camera.
  4. Wait for the camera to emit a confirmation sound (ding, ding, ding).

Complete the Setup

  1. Tap Continue in the app to finalize the connection.
  2. The app will verify the connection and update the network.
  3. Tap Finish, and your Arlo camera is now connected to the new Wi-Fi network.

That’s it! Your Arlo camera should now be successfully updated to the new network. If this guide helped, check out the video above, like, and subscribe for more helpful tips!
