The Orbi LBR20 was a bit of a challenge. The Obi app was skittish … worked sometimes, sometimes got stuck. The password used to set-up my Orbi account (Netgear) was not the same as the password needed to activate the Orbi modem-router for Internet connection; the Orbi password is printed on the label at the bottom of the Orbi unit … Oh, that password.
PureTalk (really AT&T) indicated that they had coverage for my barn’s Zip Code but could not guarantee the Sim card would work with Orbi LBR20 … not quite the confidence booster I needed. Ok … so brave as I am, I purchased the PureTalk Sim card and a 6 Gig data plan.
After everything arrived, I first tried to connect the Orbi wireless modem-router to the Internet using the Orbi app as instructed. Nothing automatic here. After several tries, the Orbi app asked for the APN number of my Internet service provider. What’s an APN for goodness sake? Googled “PureTalk APN” and came up with “RESELLER”. I entered “RESELLER … then my PureTalk phone number as the only User ID I knew and then my PureTalk password. No contact and no Internet. Frustration!! The next day, I called PureTalk and asked for the APN number, user ID and password. After transferring through 4 different technical service associates, I received the information (APN = RESELLER, User ID = Not set up yet, Password = Not set up yet). So, I entered “RESELLER” and nothing else (no User ID and no Password). Success!! Internet access!!! Oh, so you don’t need a password in this case!! But … I was now connected to the Internet through a Orbi 4g LTE wireless modem-router … no cable. Once I got the password and APN right, Orbi activated as promised.
The next step was to see if the Arlo Essential WiFi cameras would connect to the Orbi LBR20 and then connect to the Internet. The Arlo app was needed to activate the cameras. The Arlo app worked more reliably and consistently than the Orbi app. One by one, each of the Arlo Essential cameras activated. I could see my home office on each of the cameras. Amazing!!! What vanity looking at myself on all four cameras!!! Still, this was at home … and not 25 miles away … in the middle of nowhere. To be safe … I purchased two antennas to attach to the Orbi (not provided in the Orbi box), just in case the Orbi needed the extra help in capturing the wireless signal in the rural Midwest. The Orbi had no problem at home. Every WiFi device in the house wanted to connect to the Orbi … I had to resist. But would the same happen at the barn?
I unplugged everything and transported the Orbi and the Arlo Essential cameras to the barn. Located the Orbi 14 feet above ground. Plugged it in. Immediate Internet connection!!! You’ve got to be kidding!!! Installed the Arlo cameras. Each of the cameras … one by one … immediately linked to the Orbi … just like at home. You’ve got to be kidding!! Now … 25 miles away with no cable … I have the views as shown below.
There are still questions. The jury is still out. What will the battery life be for each of the cameras be? I fully charged the cameras yesterday; today they are at 92-94 %, though was experimenting with features a lot yesterday. The WiFi signal from the Orbi to the Arlo cameras appears strong. The barn is wood frame with steel siding. Two cameras show four bars and two show two. One of the cameras showing two bars showed four bars yesterday. I may need to reposition the cameras. So … everything is still new. We’ll see.

When we originally purchased these cameras in January 2022 for our new home we LOVED THEM. Picture/video quality was awesome. Set up was INITIALLY great and the alerts were cool.
Fast forward to November this year, only ONE out of the 3 we purchased will CONNECT. The other 2 are useless at this point. We originally thought it was our Smart WIFI 6 Router, as you don't have the option to manually connect to the 2G network although the WIFI router provides 2G/5G. The rest of the Smart devices in our home such as Smart Lights/Locks/Power Outlets/Other Smart Security Cameras connect just as fine as they're only 2G capable. Our other Arlo Camera connected just fine so we were a bit confused.
We uninstalled the Arlo App, Reset the Cameras, Stood as close to the Router as possible, Tried walking away from the WIFI Router as far as possible, did a rain dance, prayed to God. Nothing worked!!!
We even went so far as to purchase another WIFI Router with manual 2G/5G WIFI Bands, connected my phone to the 2G network and made sure to try and connect the remaining 2 cameras (that were FULLY charged) to it. But it remains stuck on THIS SCREEN (See pic attached). So we KNOW our WIFI is not the problem.
They do NOT offer a phone number where you can reach CUSTOMER SUPPORT, UNLESSSSSS you live in Canada. I live in the USA. The phone number on Amazon that I tried to reach out to them with is their Arlo.com 'Order Number' which literally only allows you to enter an order number to track it.
I'm big on customer support. I look into that before I purchase ANY product because what good is the product if the Company doesn't stand behind it 100% ??? When you have to troubleshoot if the customer support is non-existent to help fix it with you and leaves you stranded??? So now I have 2 cameras I spent $300+ and No surveillance in my backyard or side of my home and it sucks!!
