WHile there are reset procedures that can help, start by verifying that you are not using a VPN and that your router is set to use WPA2 (AES) encryption. Also verify that you WiFi SSID and password don't include special characters. You could try using the router's guest network (if supported) using a more generic SSID and password to see if that works.

Base station reset is done with a paperclip. Pro 3 cameras are reset using the button inside the housing.

 

You do need to remove the base (and all cameras connected to it) from your account if you reset the base.  And remove the camera from the account if you reset just the camera.
