Any solutions here?. I have the same issue now.. cax80 powers on > all lights flash > 1234 on for a few seconds, then power light on > 1234 turn off > nothing after that.
Reset button > unplug for 30m and disconnect everything > same when power on.

I would check back with them later in the week. Monday is a busy day for most.

It took a few days for me to receive a call from tech support. We ran through various reset attempts and nothing. The tech was very nice but could not provide a solution. He checked with his sources and called me back. Even though I purchased the unit from Netgear's website I was 2 months past the warranty (purchased April 2021, stopped working June 2022) Netgear will do nothing. I am now working with customer service in hopes of receiving a refund on the Armor Security I renewed in May. Irritated -yes. Obviously am not the only one with this issue.
