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 
(= 30) ► [ 4] tab ► [Wireless settings] ► [Wi-Fi Settings] ► 
[Check MAC Address].

WPS makes it easy to complete settings when connecting devices over 
Wi-Fi. You can use either Push Button Configuration Method or PIN 
Method for settings on a WPS supported device.

connected to an access point.
