deleted my arlo hub now won't connect

[Loopie]

New VMB4000 base station. When I try to add it in the app or using the web, nothing shows up after the search. The lights on the base station are as follows:

Power - solid green

Internet - solid green

Camera(s) - solid amber

I think it may be bad. The camera light shouldn't be solid amber with no cameras added, should it? Any ideas?

Are you using the primary account?  Or are you perhaps using a "friend" account?

[Tzoid]

Same here. I’m primary and it goes from online to offline multiple times. Internet working without drops. My wife, friend account, is always offline. But cameras work and notification works also but geofencing doesn’t. Quite frustrating

Thanks,

Maybe ARLO can find a solution!

I need help I have the same problem

[BradLC]

Hi, here's my scenario:

my VMB4000 hub was working, but I wanted to remove and re-install,

after deleting cameras (4 pro 2's) I installed the hub

first 2 leds are green, 3rd is amber

hub shows up on my phone in wifi settings as ARLO_VMB_(THEN 10 DIGITS) locked

I use the app and I've tried with laptop via logging on to arlo account etc

everytime it says No Arlo devices found

can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

TIA, Brad

In addition to the article Edinburgh_lad1 provides, other users have reported similar issues to importing their arlo base station again.

From your description of the base led display it confirms that the base has been successfully  factory reset given the camera led is now showing constant amber illumination so it is ready to be claimed by a arlo account.

it is important to note that the arlo app device needs to be connected to the local network that the base is connected to for the app to find the base. I.e. mobile using the local wifi or the pc web browser using an Ethernet connection.

the recent reporting of the problems points to a bug in the arlo app that is preventing some older base devices being imported.

Make sure you have removed all arlo devices from the account before trying to import them again.

to date arlo has not provided any update to when or if it will be resolved.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, it’s on the same network. (Ethernet) and 2 green lights one amber (no cameras attached)

I’ll send Arlo a query 

cheers

This is exactly what I'm facing. Base loads to devices on PC portal no problem. Cameras and base both blink slow then fast, but don't show up in devices. Problem started after removing cameras from devices. Everything was working properly.

[BradLC]

Problem solved, spoke with Arlo support and would not work after resets etc, then used another device (my wife’s phone) and the base station showed up and connected! Weird as our phone are exact same (iPhone 15 pro max) thanks for Arlo support
