Arlo Pro 3 will not connect to Smartbase -VMB4000r3

I have tried all the suggestions that I have read on this board, expect a full reset on my base.

I tried submitting a Ticket to support and kept receiving an error, I guess it is not my day.

Should I give up and return this camera?

SailingArlo,

What exactly are you experiencing when you attempt to sync your camera? What is the LED behavior on the camera? What do you see in the mobile app?

The led on the camera

During pairing slowly flashes blue, after failed attempt rapid flashing of amber.

App - shows looking for camera, eventually fails, and pops up the retry by pushing the sync button. I have tried these sequences a number of times.

The only thing I haven’t tried is resetting the base station.

Resolved.

After receiving zero help!

I reset my base station to factory default, with paper clip.
Deleted all my cameras

Paired the Pro 3 first - worked.
Repaired my 4 Pro 2 cameras - worked.

Reinstalled all cameras.

PS. If anyone from Netgear is listening, I will not do that again. They all go in the trash along with my subscription.

Netgear is definitely not listening. They divested Arlo in 2018.
