5.2.1 WiFi Mode Trouble Shooting Strategy

If you could not connect the bulb camera to WiFi router even password and everything is correct. Then you have to read below instructions.

Under WiFi mode, bulb camera will be connected with router. To have better performance and being successfully connected with router, there are some key points must be aware :

1. Router’s DHCP service must be enabled. Bulb camera depends on it to get IP address.

2. Router’s SSID, must no space in between, that means format like “my ssid” is not acceptable, only acceptable “myssid”

3. Router’s wireless channel, we would suggest using no. “13” (some old router without channel 13, then select channel 11)

4. Router’s security method, we would suggest using “WPA2-PSK” (AUTO is not recommended)

5. Router’s encryption method, we would suggest using “AES” (AUTO is not recommended)
