Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point supports
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or not. Refer to the user manual provided with
your access point to check if it supports WPS.

A router is a device that creates a network (LAN) structure for connecting
multiple computers. A router that contains an internal Wi-Fi function is called a
“Wi-Fi router”.

This guide refers to all Wi-Fi routers and base stations as “access points”.

If you use MAC address filtering on your Wi-Fi network, be sure to add the
camera’s MAC address to your access point. You can check your camera’s
MAC address by choosing MENU (

) > [

3] tab > [Wi-Fi Settings] >

[Check MAC Address].
