Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent experience with my Arlo Pro VMB4000 base station. A few weeks ago, I noticed that my base station went offline in the middle of the night. The power and camera lights were green, but the internet light wasn’t lit up. I tried all the troubleshooting steps suggested by Arlo, including a factory reset, but nothing seemed to work. The camera light turned amber after the reset, but the internet light remained unlit.
I decided to test the Ethernet connection directly to my laptop, and while it didn’t work initially, I realized that the issue might be with the Ethernet cable itself. After trying a different cable, the base station finally connected to the internet! It was such a relief to see everything working again.
I wanted to share this experience in case anyone else is facing similar issues. Sometimes, the simplest solutions, like testing with a different cable, can make all the difference. It’s also a good reminder to check all connections and cables when troubleshooting connectivity problems.
If anyone else has encountered this issue or has any additional tips, I’d love to hear about your experiences too! Happy smart home tinkering!
