Wi-Fi Connection Mode
By default, the Wi-Fi Monitor runs in AP (Access Point) mode and detects the camera out of the box, without any configuration
required. The Wi-Fi Monitor also connects to the Internet automatically when it is plugged into your router using the included Ethernet
cable.
If you have an existing home Wi-Fi network, the Setup Wizard can help you connect the Monitor and camera to it using Station mode.
You can easily switch between AP and Station
WiFi Mode by accessing the Monitor's Main
Menu > Network > WiFi Setting screen.
If changing from Station to AP mode, you must
also reset the camera to restore default AP Wi-
Fi settings.
For wired connection to router, leave this as AP.
For wireless connection to router, select Station
and then tap OK when the Wizard prompts you to
restart the monitor. To configure Wi-Fi settings for
your devices, see "Connecting to an Existing
Wi-Fi Network".
(Optional) Multiple Wi-Fi networks operating within your home can sometimes
interfere with each other if they use the same channels. To improve the
Monitor's Wi-Fi signal when running in AP mode, check your wireless router
settings to see what channel number is being used and select a different
channel number for the Monitor.
Connecting to your Wi-Fi network has a few
advantages, such as freeing the Monitor
from being wired to the router, and enabling
the use of Wi-Fi range extenders to allow
cameras to be mounted in more places
around your home.
