To connect using an access point, check if the access point supports WPS* that allows easy connection between Wi-Fi devices. If you do not know if the access point you use is WPS-compatible, refer to the access point instruction manual or other documentation. * Wi-Fi Protected Setup
When WPS is supported The following two connection methods are available. Connection can be established easier with WPS (PBC mode). Connecting via WPS (PBC mode): Perform the operations
described on page 23. Connecting via WPS (PIN mode): Perform the operations
described on page 24.
When WPS is not supported Connecting to a detected network manually: Perform the
operations described on page 26.
Access Point Encryption The transmitter supports the following options for [Authentication] and [Encryption settings]. Therefore, when connecting to a detected network manually, the encryption used by the access point must be one of the following. [Authentication]: Open system, Shared key, or WPA/WPA2-PSK [Encryption settings]: WEP, TKIP, or AES
Checking the Type of Access Point
If stealth functions of the access point are active, connection may be disabled. Deactivate stealth functions.

Wireless Function Notes
When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, make sure that the cameras IP addresses are different.
When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, the transmission rate drops.
When there are multiple IEEE 802.11n/g/b (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13. When IEEE 802.11n/a can be used (on the 5 GHz band), switch to IEEE 802.11n/a (on the 5 GHz band) and specify a different channel.

If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur. Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor the wireless LAN transmissions and attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
Unauthorized network access Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
It is recommended to thoroughly secure your network to prevent these types of problems from occurring.
