Upgraded router to Nighthawk R7000 and now my VueZone GW2010 & cameras won't connect
Hi, I just recently upgraded my router to the Nighthawk 7000 and I have the older model Vuezone base station (GW2010) with 5 cameras for home security. I have gone through all the basic troubleshooting suggestions and I just can't get the base station to connect with the new router. Everything else in my home is working beautifully with the new router and I also invested into a new battery backup/surge protector for my home office equipment because we have had some construction going on down the road and have experienced a few power blips on and off lately. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to upgrade to an Arlo based system to get it working even though I was hoping not to have to spend anymore $$$ on this for home security. I really loved my vuezone and I hope this isn't built-in obsolence with my basestation and cameras. Thank you for you comments in advance. Candice
- Hey, not sure why or how, but its working now. Guess I will bow to the IT god nighthawkis for the favor. Thanks everyone for your input.

I have the same issue, went through three different "support" persons, got case numbers. The second person told me to call back after my last attempt to flash the firmware. If it failed, they would replace the unit. It failed, I called back. Got a very rude punk who refused to send a replacement. Asked for his supervisor. They would not get on the phone, but refused, as well. I paid $700.00 for the thing and I swear I will NEVER buy another Netgear product. I have 2 extenders ($150 each). SO mad at them. Do NOT buy their product! Dropping wifi is a known problem to them and the guy I got was an az!
For clarity, the issue is getting the base station to connect with the router and not viewing the camera from web?
Can you go through some of the steps you've taken thus far so someone doesn't recommend something you've already tried?
