White Matter 2-1 Switch Pairing Issues

Hmm. I reread the 1.0.5 firmware notes email:

  1. Factory Reset Optimization: Aligned behavior with other products. The LED bar will now blink three times in red to confirm a successful reset.
  2. Network Joining Issue Resolved: Fixed a critical bug that prevented some switches from joining a new network.

Hmm. #2 sounds a bit suspicious and perhaps is relevant. It is vague but I can see a way to interpret it as not being able to join a new network after a reset.
