Changed out my router .. and now cannot get my cameras connected?
I have

- reset
- uninstalled
- reinstalled
- factory reset
- new wifi passwords
- try connect to 2 gHz and 5 gHz
and after 3 hours of misery .. only 1 of my 2 cameras will connect
I have seriously run out of options to try

Ok after 4 hours of trying all kinds of things I finally figured out what went wrong .. and how to fix
The issue was when I put into factory rest the first time, it was not complete with the reset (before I tried to synch) and this put the camera in an unstable state (that would never connect).  To correct, I had to reset the camera (again) and wait about 5 minutes before trying to synch.  Once I did this .. the camera was found (after 4 hours of fiddling).  Arlo cams are great when NEW .. but brutal redo if anything changes.

Hope this helps someone else out
