After FW update, VMB4000 base station won't connect to pro2 cameras unless they're within ONE FOOT!

After a recent FW update (1.26.0.0_4712_12a0681 released 2/24/25), my VMB4000r3 base station (after March 14, 2025) won't connect to my Arlo pro 2 cameras unless they're within ONE FOOT of the base station! Support says they can't help because pro 2 camera are too old. Unless this is a coincidental HW failure in the base station, a FW update may have purposely made my 5 camera setup permanently stop working.

If I understand this correctly, you connected your pro 2 cameras, but they go off-line unless they're 1 foot from your base station?
