My Arlo Base Station power light freezes on the ORANGE color. Tried rebooting. Tried turning off for a while and rebooting. All I get is an ORANGE light. This started 4 days ago.

 

Thanks for suggestions.

Been out of town. But I figured it out. Apparently the Base Station will not get passed the orange boot up light unless you have an internet connection. Figured out a LAN cable was not completely connected in a switch. So no internet access. I figured it out after I found out my printer was also not working. Both were connected to the same switch. Thanks for the suggestions. I wished the online troubleshooting would have mentioned that the Base Station required an internet connection to boot up.

If you tried a FULL RESET ( hold in reset for about 10 secs till the front leds flash amber ) and it still continues, it sounds like a power problem or base problem.
