You should set up your camera using a network cable (wired) first before you attempt to use it wirelessly. (See Hardware Installation above).

Make sure your router is a wireless router.
Make sure the Wi-Fi antenna is installed on the camera.
Determine if your router uses encryption, (see your router’s owner’s manual for how to do this), if it uses encryption, note the share key.
