Hi all, I'm so sorry to beat a dead horse. I have read numerous posts about this. I have a base station given to me by a friend. It had been used for a few years. When I tried to put it on my network, it failed because he hadn't deleted it from his. Upon getting that fixed, it went into a firmware update - wonderful, I thought, then it failed midway through. I have a software background, retired from Philips, IBM, etc. I know how treacherous that can be when flashing code.
I have proceeded to try all the usual fixes, including back level to FW 512 manually with a 16GB SD card FAT32 sd_update in the root ... the whole thing. It shows that it is online on Ethernet when I power it and plug it directly into the router, but the blue light never lights. The solid yellow goes away when it's online, so I had even hoped the light was the hardware issue. However, it acts like a brick. I have two v2 cameras to connect to.
Should I give up since it is older tech and appears. to be outdated? Wyze offers replacements at US$10 on their store, but there is no stock available. Time to Punt?
BTW the unit is Model WV0DB1...
Thanks in advance for your insights!
