The amber Internet LED indicates that the base has an IP address but it can't connect to the servers. That's usually a router security setting - make sure ports 80, 123 and 443 to arlo.com are open. Is the router owned by you or the ISP?

It's possible that the base is having an issue. Have you rebooted both the router and base, in that order? I know you say you reset the base but how did you do that? Try removing all devices from Settings, My Devices (if any) and start fresh. Hold the reset button until the LEDs flash amber and let the base reboot to see if the Internet LED turns green. Try a different port on the router and a different cable. Use a computer (or a phone ping app) to see if you can ping arlo.com. Be sure to disable any VPNs that may be in use.
Some ISPs have blocked access to sites including Arlo in the past so it could be an ISP problem. If you have a friend nearby that has a different ISP/router to see if you can set it up there.
If all fails, swap at the store to see if a new base works or use the Contact Support link at the bottom here.

If you are running wireless anything in your home - check your WiFi frequencies.
My husband just discovered ours running on the same Wi-Fi frequency as other things, preventing the hub from connecting and flashing an amber light no matter what we did. Reset everything, unplugged, uninstalled, factory reset - everything. He is in the process of changing the frequencies so they don't over lap. Hopefully this will solve the issue.
He was unable to find anything on Arlo site about what Wi-Fi frequency anything ran on so had to do more trouble shooting to figure it out on his own.
Hope that helps.

If possible, take the base to a friend's house and try to claim it there.

I had the same problem with my previous Arlo system. Took it back to Best Buy (buy the protection plan btw!). They gave me a new camera system and that connection problem was resolved but now my cameras will record but do not display in the library. Too many bugs and issues for the pricing and length of time these cameras have been on the market. Sad to say I am going to another brand and taking these back.

Yes the base station has external storage that has been formatted and still does not save the recordings.
