I also had trouble connecting. I contacted support through 'chat', which is the fastest method. The agent told me 'Make sure that your router’s security protocol is set to WPA2. WEP and WPA are not supported.'. This is not in the user manual.
I created a 'guest network' on my router that uses WPA2, and connected that way. Good luck

It is in the on-line FAQ though - https://kb.arlo.com/000061837/I-can-t-set-up-the-Arlo-Bridge-that-came-with-my-Arlo-Light-Security-s...

 

What the FAQ doesn't say is that both WEP and WPA are insecure.  It's best not to use them.
