Not able to Reconnect VMB4000 to Account

fool4wheelin — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 17:33:50 GMT

I was having some issues with my location settings, so I removed my devices and factory reset the VMB4000 base station. Now I am unable to reconnect the base station to my account.

- When using the App from my phone, it finds the device right away, but after typing in a name for the base station and selecting "Next", I receive a message that says "Error occurred, The operation couldn't be completed. (ArloNetworking.ServerResponseError error 1.)"

- When using a desktop PC, it finds the device right away, but after typing in a name for the base station and selecting "Next", a strange orange banner appears at the top of the browser window with nothing in it, and doesn't allow me to proceed to the next step.

I am also not able to use Arlo's chat or phone support, I am unable to Select a Product in the request screen, so I can't get past that screen.

I think that's jumping to conclusions about hardware failure.

Thanks for the reply. Since I removed the device, I'm not able to select it in the support center and it won't let me proceed to create a ticket. I will send you a dm.

Thank you for your help submitting a ticket through Arlo support. They contacted me and said that my base station was the issue and needed to be replaced.
