You mention a 1.7Mbps Internet connection but didn't indicate if that's the upload or download speed. If that's the download speed, it could be the issue. You could take the base to a different location (a friend's house) that has a faster connection and try again.

 

What are the LEDs on the base showing? Did you try a factory reset on the base?

.57 download speed.

3 solid green lights.

nothing happens for 3-5 minutes, then a failed notice.

reset many times..

Am I supposed to take the whole setup somewhere else to try?

Your download speed is the issue - updates are timing out due to the inability to download in time. It would seem that your only choice would be to take the system to a friend's house who has more like 10Mbps download speeds so updates can occur. When complete, you can return home and things should be fine.
