can you post a picture of the port you are plugging it into on your home router? it could be the wrong port, or the port could be off.

 

have you tried plugging the base station directly into your modem to see if it works then?

The base must be plugged into the router using an Ethernet cable.  It doesn't use WiFi to connect to the Internet.

Hello, my base can now connect to my internet router but i am still having an issue with granting access to my wife's phone..I created netgear account for her and been trying to add arlo wire free but it failed to connect the base..have done rebooting and factory reset still no difference...i think it's not kinda handy product at all, feel so complicated.. appreciate your assistance here...

When granting access, you don't try to set up the system to that account.  You just follow the directions in the invitation email sent to her email address.
