New Outdoor base could not connect to Netgear Router running smart connect, resolved issue by enabling a 2.4GHz Guest WiFi network in Netgear router settings. Worked fine until latest Outdoor Base and Cam firmware upgrades, now base will not connect to Guest Network! Have 5 wyze Cam V2’s all connecting to same Netgear Router with smart connect, outdoor base is only Wyze product that requires a dedicated 2.4GHz network, but now even that doesn’t work.
I believe the Nighthawk has a LAN port, have you tried direct connection of WCO Base to Nighthawk?

Thanks for attempting to help.
Yes! I’ve always been able to connect by ethernet wire to router, no problem there. I have a 2.4GHz Wifi Network exclusively for this base station. Problem was that after most recent firmware update (4.16.216) and after a power shutdown, base station would not re-connect by wiFi, only by ethernet wire connection.
I quit yesterday after over ten attempts throughout the day, including rebooting the router. I left the base station unplugged all night, after four attempts today the base station has now connected by WiFi. So, problem solved for now but still a mystery why it takes so many tries to get the base station to connect to wifi when dozens of other devices don’t have any trouble at all.
