In your Linksys router, do you have WPA3 enabled for the Wi-Fi? I have seen recently folks having success with disabling WPA3 and going to WPA2 will allow the base station to connect to Wi-Fi. I personally have experienced the flashing blue light on the base station until I enabled “legacy device support 11b” In my ubiquity access point settings. So it’s not just that it needs the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, there are various settings that need to be correct as well. Check the above in your linksys settings and see if that fixes the flashing light on the base.

The Wyze Base Station is the only device that has no idea what to do. With WPA3 disabled, it figures out how to use WPA2. With WPA3 enabled, it just flashes blue. I have 8 WyzeCams (4 indoor and 4 outdoor), and this is fairly unacceptable as a workaround. WPA3 has been around for at least 4 years. Surely Wyze Labs can just make the Base Station smart enough…
