Arlo Ultra hub won’t sync

My hub won’t sync. LED blue. I have lodged case number 41562696, but haven’t received a reply in more than 48 hours. Disappointed. Please advise options. I’ve tried resetting etc.

How did you try the reset? You have to hold the reset button until the LED flashes amber. Let it reboot and try claiming it again.

Thank you for your reply jguerdat. Yes, I have tried that and whilst the light flashes amber, it refuses to be discovered as a new device and the LED eventually goes blue. I can see that it has a wifi signal from my iPhone settings if that’s any help.

NK73,

What is the history with this SmartHub? Is it brand neew? Did you buy it new? Were you using it on a different account?

Bought new through Amazon Prime about a week or so ago, setup okay then unplugged hub from modem when shifting some gear around, then replugged. Then it failed to connect, so I deleted and tried to re add the hub and now not discoverable.

Just to clarify further, yes I am attempting to discover from the same account.

NK73,

When you say you shifted some gear around, what did you do? What is different now than when you originally had the setup working?

I am not aware of anything being different aside from the position of the hub being moved about a foot. It is the same modem.

Tried to discover again after resetting device and it now works! I did hold the reset button down for ages though, perhaps longer than previously. Thank you all for your help anyway.
