The device doesn’t do this automatically or make this recommendation anywhere (and you shouldn’t have to reboot a device in order to connect to a wireless network), but once the camera boots back-up you should be on wireless. The answer, as embarrassing as this sounds, is to do a device reboot RIGHT AFTER you save your wireless settings. I tried this many times on two different cameras. I’d unplug the ethernet cable and it would never connect wirelessly. From the Settings menu, go to Network > Wireless and scan for the available networks, pick yours, enter the credentials and off you go, right?
Once you have the latest and greatest firmware installed, the device has rebooted, you’re now ready to get the camera on your wireless network.
FOSCAM IP CAMERA SETUP ROUTER UPGRADE
The firmware upgrade procedure is admittedly a bit convoluted, but once you get the zipped file from the manufacturer, follow their instructions carefully and it works fine. The best place to start are the software downloads pages from either or. There are always security fixes as well as new features being added to new firmware releases, so go and get the latest. This should absolutely be the first thing you do when you first set your camera up, regardless of whether you plan on using the camera wirelessly or not. I was never able to completely root-cause the problem but I did figure out a procedure that worked reliably - hopefully it works for you as well. Now, I’ve done this for many cameras (including Foscams) previously so not sure why it was problematic this time around. I’ve never had any problem setting up a Foscam on wireless until a recent attempt on my home wireless network. The price to value ratio is fantastic on these cameras since you can buy a feature-packed camera for less than $100 in many cases. Foscam cameras are extremely popular - they are one of the best selling cameras in their category on.
