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?

Did you also remove the base from your account before trying to add it again? You can't add a device that's already in your account.

Forgive me for my reply but I thought I should share this!

 

I had countless issues with green green Amber lights on my hub. Went through all the same as everyone else. However what I did different was leaving the power supply in the hub and hub still on, removed ethernet cable. Then used pin on reset button several times to make sure it connects and clicks as it should! Pinned and held reset button for 10secs and watched all lights flash Amber several times then blank or all amber. Then I unplugged the power and switched it off. I then made sure I was on the same WiFi network and made sure it was only 2.4ghz using my android device. The base would be connected to that router on 2.4ghz and connected via the ethernet to the Arlo hub/ base station

 

I went through the set up for hub on the app and bang discoverable. 

 

So then added my wireless cameras one by one using the app as instructed. Voilà!

 

Hope this helps. 

 

 

 

Also, bare in mind when setting up the hub, if successful like me, then the app will push new firmware and bring your hub up to date. 

 

Good Luck!
