Same problem
But all 3 lights green on base a middle one blinks so it communicates with the internet. But the app does not find any devices.
Why do I have another WiFi netgear 78 and what’s password for that.
So far this box is worthless

That sounds like your system is already set up. If so, you can't discover the base since it's already claimed. Do you have anything shown in Settings, My Devices?

Is this a used or refurbished system? It could be that the base has already been claimed by a previous owner which is why you can't claim it.

bsfoster,

 

Are you connected to the same wifi network your base station is plugged in to?

You didn't answer this. In any event, swap at the store.
