A:Answer I initially plugged mine into the router to get the network to find the camera. Immediately after that, the installation procedure allows you to switch to wireless and you can unplug the network cable. So, just hook up the camera to your router and make it work in the same room as your computer and then when you move the camera to wherever you want, plug the power in again, and press the wireless button on the base and it will wirelessly find your network.
