Hello, I have been using a Particle Mesh consisting of 1 Argon and 2 Xenon Boards. I have needed the Argon to be connected to different Wifi networks at different times, so I have been unclaiming the Argon and setting it back up with new network preferences as needed. Recently, I have had trouble creating a new mesh network. The Argon will accept SSID and password and connect to internet. The Argon LED is breathing cyan. When using the Android app, I get hung on “Registering the mesh network with the Particle Device Cloud” When using the iOS app, I get hung on “Creating local mesh network” Please advise, Joe ---

No need to unclaim the device unless you _really_ want to connect it to _another_ account. > [@jhealow](#): > > When using the Android app, I get hung on “Registering the mesh network with the Particle Device Cloud” > When using the iOS app, I get hung on “Creating local mesh network” Are you using a _new_ mesh network name or are you trying to reregister a name that still exists in your [Particle Console | Build your connected product](http://console.particle.io/networks) list? Currently gateways cannot (re)join an existing network. > [@jhealow](#): > > The Argon LED is breathing cyan. When setting up a device it has to be in Listening Mode (blinking blue). ---

Thank you for the quick response. I am using a new network name. I am starting with the device in Listening Mode (blinking blue), but during the set up process as I connect to internet it blinks green then starts breathing cyan. Do I need to put it back into Listening mode half-way through setup? ---

> [@jhealow](#): > > Do I need to put it back into Listening mode half-way through setup? No, that should not be required but you may have some code running on your device that interferes with the setup process. To exclude this from the _possible issues_ list put your device into DFU Mode and run `particle flash --usb tinker -v`, then press/hold MODE till you see rapid blue blinking and retry the setup process. ---

That worked great, thank you very much!
