I have a total of seven Arlo Pro 2 cameras connected to the Arlo Base Station. I purchased the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight and it will not connect to the Base Station or directly through WiFi. The Base Station firmware is updated and the WiFi meets the standards given in the app. When I try to connect the floodlight to the QR code, the device does not recognize it nor will it connect through the sync option through WiFi. The blue lights for syncing appear, but it does not connect in any way. I waited on hold for 2.5 hours trying to speak with a representative, but no answer. I also had a chat with online support and they referred me to call the customer service number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mpaddock,
Try factory resetting the floodlight by pressing and holding the sync button on your camera for 15+ seconds. After resetting, try going through the installation process again, do you still experience the same behavior?

Has your trouble shootng taken in a full reset?
Press the reset button until you see a quick sequence of pink flashes. Maybe 10 to 15 seconds, I've forgotten.
It may then start the steadily blue flash sequence, or you may have to remove the battery and press it briefly again to get that going.
Good luck. These are expensive toys to have to faff around with.

Same issue here. No one seems to have an answer.

The light will not reset. It won't do anything except blink blue every 10-15 secs. I have contacted support but have not heard back.
