any recommendations or thoughts on getting my VMC3080 to work? it randomly shut offline, and when i tried to reconnect it refused to connect to wifi, despite being able to identify it and say the wifi has full bars. i've gotten a replacement from arlo, which did the same thing. i've switched my wifi to split 2.4 and 5 ghz bands, didn't fix it. does anybody have any tips or tricks? i've probably spent 4 hours troubleshooting and arguing with chat agents and am currently trying to get my money back, but giving it one last shot on here if it can be fixed. (my doorbell camera has also randomly gone offline if you have any tips for that too)

we recently moved into a house and wanted to upgrade to having some kind of security system. we bought arlo, which was a huge mistake. all 3 cameras failed before we've even lived here a month. our needs are just a doorbell, backporch, and an indoor camera to check on the pups. we have apple homekit too if that means anything.

with arlo all 3 cameras just keep randomly going offline and refusing to jump back online. im currently arguing with customer service in an attempt to get our money back but no luck yet. if you have any advice on different brands i would appreciate it so much! right now, it looks like eufy might be where we lean next (it looks like they have a great deal going on right now) but dont want to make another mistake if this is also a pretty commonly horrible brand.
