Arlo Go 2 Can’t Connect to LTE: Fixed!

You can connect your Arlo camera to the mobile network when there’s a poor or no WiFi connection. If you are facing issues while connecting to LTE then you should try the fixes presented ahead.

Try This First!!

Before you head to the troubleshooting part, we suggest you check two points:

Is there a SIM Card Inserted?

The Arlo Go 2 camera needs a SIM card to work if you are connecting it to an LTE network. Check that you’ve inserted a SIM card in its slot. Perhaps you are using it without a SIM Card.

Did you Try Connecting to WiFi?

Try connecting your Arlo camera to a WiFi connection in your home. This is all to ensure that the camera works fine with other networks and has issues connecting only to LTE. Connect to the WiFi router and see if you can check live streams from the camera or not.

If it works fine using WiFi then you should give a shot at the fixes given next. In case the camera does not work even using WiFi then directly skip to the last fix from the list.

Let’s Troubleshoot LTE and Arlo Connection

Use a Valid SIM Card

Since the Arlo Go 2 camera needs a SIM card to operate using LTE, you must ensure that the SIM card that you have used is valid. If you are using a damaged card or if the card is not activated, then you’ll have trouble getting an internet connection from it.

Activate the card right away if the validity date is expired or if it is not yet activated.

Use Different SIM Cards

Try using any other SIM card and check if the camera works well using the other card. It could be card specific issue that can be easily resolved by using an alternative activated SIM card.

Get a Data Plan

Maybe the SIM card that you’ve used in the Arlo camera has no data plan left. We suggest you get a data plan now so that your camera can connect to the internet.

Insert SIM Card Properly

Have you inserted the SIM card correctly into the right slot on the camera? Maybe not, which is why the camera can’t connect to LTE. We suggest you take out the SIM card from its slot and then reinsert it properly. Make certain that it is well in its place.
