Arlo Wire Free VMB3000 camera is not showing up. Tried re-syncing and reinstalling Base.

I recently got a new router and modem that has led to the base station not showing up. Help threads suggest reinstalling base station which I did and now none of the cameras are showing up. When I go to resync camera's, they are doing nothing. I have tried to replace the batteries and all that happens is the light initially shows blue for a few seconds and then turns to amber after I hit sync.

I have tried to reinstall the base a few times and also just powered down the base, but no matter what I do the camera's stay amber when trying to sync.

Is there a way to clear the cameras from prior settings or anything else to try and sync? Only button I can find on the camera is the sync button and pressing for a second up to holding it for over 10 seconds doesn't do anything different.

Thank you for the help. These were all the steps I had been taking and the light stayed amber. I was able to finally sink them only after I replaced the batteries with fresh new ones on each camera. I had taken the batteries out for a day and even rotated them between cameras. The thing that finally worked was just a fresh pair of batteries.
