kulwantd,

Could you provide more details about what you're seeing? What LED behaviors are seen on the SmartHub?

Have you tried factory resetting before onboarding?

Hello JamesC

Yes, I tried all the options:

1. changing the connection cable

2. Rebooting the basestation

3. Resetting to factory setup

First I see blinking orange LED, then it goes to Blue

Looks like the base station is gone bad.

A few days before this happened my arlo pro 3 cameras were going offline

should I get new base station VMB4540 ?

Or is there any other option ?

kulwantd,

A blue LED indicates the base is receiving an internet connection. Are you able to try onboarding using a PC connected to the same network to see if you still experience the same behavior?

Through PC it worked but I had to do factory reset.

Thank you.
