Base Station (Model VMB400r3) stopped working. No internet connection or camera sync.

I have the same probelm as Dr.Pots April 3, 2019 closed thread. After several years the base station has just stopped working. No internet connection and no camera sync. Internet connection LED is out and the camera connection LED is amber. I've reboot, pulled power, and deleted the config and all devices. Its basically a paperweight now. The app won't discover it either.

Dont tell me to do the same things as the tier one/two support people have told others. I've done all that. Also take a look at the NMAP command below. There's only one TCP port open 5061:

nmap -p 1-65535 -T4 -A -v xxx.xxx.x.xx

This scans all open ports on the device. I've masked out ip address.

Thanks for reading this.

It sounds like a dead base to me. A new or used replacement is likely needed.

It was a dead base station. I replaced it and solved the problem.
