If you’re experiencing connectivity issues with your Arlo Q camera, resetting the device can often resolve the problem. Follow these simple steps to reset your camera and restore its functionality.
Preparing to Reset Your Arlo Q Camera
Before resetting, ensure your camera is powered on and connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. It’s also a good idea to have your mobile device or computer nearby for reconfiguration after the reset.
Steps to Reset Your Arlo Q Camera
- Locate the reset button on your Arlo Q camera. It is typically a small, recessed button on the back or bottom of the device.
- Use a paperclip or a similar pointed object to press and hold the reset button.
- Hold the button for approximately 10 seconds until the LED indicator on the camera flashes amber and then turns off.
- Release the reset button and wait for the camera to reboot. This process may take a few minutes.
Reconfiguring Your Camera After Reset
Once the camera has reset and rebooted, you will need to set it up again through the Arlo app:
- Open the Arlo app on your mobile device or access the Arlo web portal.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to add your camera back to your account.
- Connect the camera to your Wi-Fi network by entering your network details when prompted.
- Test the connection to ensure the camera is functioning properly.

- Restart your Wi-Fi router to refresh your network connection.
- Ensure your firmware is up to date via the Arlo app.
