The base station can only communicate with the router via Ethernet. While you can see the base's SSID, you can't use it for anything. Only the cameras will connect to it.

 

If you must use WiFi to connect the base to the router (I.e. no Ethernet ports on the router) you can use a WiFi extender that has an Ethernet port.
