New problem with the RAX35 again. I have purchased a new Arlo Video doorbell and I have tried for the last 3 days to get it to connect to this router with no luck and seems when I try to connect the...

Thanks for the reply but none of these options worked. The Arlo Video Doorbell still could not find the router. Still need help in resolving this issue. 3 days is too long to be trying different options to make this router connect.

Have you contacted Arlo support? There is a support phone number on their site, unlike Netgear router support.

They were not available during the holidays but I will try today to see if they can provide any information on how to make it work. From the posts on their site, they are not very tech savy when it comes to these types issues and ends up taking 3 or 4 attempts and several days. But I will try today. Thanks,

My issue with this router is still not resolved. Netgear has not responded with a fix. I have since contacted Arlo Support and worked with them for 3 hours on the phone to no avail. The Arlo Video Doorbell will still not connect to this router. I have since replace this router with a new one and still it will not connect to the doorbell. During setup of the doorbell it disconnects and says my WiFi is diconnected as it tries to find the WiFi Router. Still need Support Help.

Official support is also generally more responsive on-line over on the Arlo community.

Yes, I have contacted Arlo Support and was on the phone for over 3 hours trying different options and settings and none worked. Tech support took the issue back to there Engineers and worked on possible solutions all week. They called me this Friday and we tried some more settings and none of those worked. Right now they are saying the the Netgear RAX35 and probably the 40 are not compatible with Arlo devices! They will continue to try and determine why they are not compatible.
As a last effort Friday night, I hooked up my upstairs WiFi Extender (Netgear) and brought it downstairs and linked it with the RAX35 Router. Changed my phone settings to the WiFi Extender and typed in the Extender's WiFi name with the RAX35 password and it CONNECTED! It is connected and working but only with the Netgear Extender. There is clearly a compatibility issue with this router! Arlo Support stated they will continue to try and resolve.
