As the name of the camera states Wireless-N, it must connect thru your wireless network. You need to refer to the camera paperwork or the Linksys web site and configure your new router to be wired and wireless communications with your gadgets. If camera is still under warranty the tech support at Linksys can help or if the router is Linksys they should point you in the right direction. No experience with other router mfgs. but sure they will help if you can't figure the directions to set up wireless connection.

You will need an Ethernet cable. Why does camera not connect via wifi anymore? I had power issues with my camera and sent it to trendnet for repairs. I have yet to receive it back.

plug the camera into a spare socket on your router / modem to start with. then run the set up software. you can then asked it to log onto your wireless network, click the refresh icon if need be to see networks. Sometimes you need to click in to the empty box for the network list to appear !

Camera works, but you cannot access it to view or configure until router is on again. When my router goes off, the camera and router reconnect automatically. I have the router configured to assign the same IP number to the camera, so I don't have random IPs assigned.

Here's how you do it. 1. Plug camera into router. 2 Power up camera by plugging it in to the AC power. 3. Insert the CD into a computer that is also connected to the router via wireless or wired, and then let the program on the CD run. It will identify the camera, and then allow you to set it up for wireless. After it successfully set up for wireless, you can then unplug the camera from the router and place the camera wherever you would like to within range of your wifi.

you must have power over Ethernet (POE) switch to power up the camera. or plug in standard compatible power source to camera.

I don't have a direct answer for your issue but ... have you tried to "reset" the camera? There should be a small hole in the back near the ethernet port where you'd need a paperclip to get to the button and hold it in for about 3 - 5 seconds and release it. That may help with the configuration page. The other issues... I have no answer except to contact customer service.

Hi Loraine. It's Marirose. How are you??? The WiFi only connects to tablets and phones no laptops but you can control the camera wirelessly.

I just figured it out. Best way would connect the camera with the wire to the router that your pc is connected too. Use the program that came with it on your pc, there is a option to find camera in settings. Once it finds the camera's ip address you can connect to it and with the program then change the wireless settings and connect it to the wireless network. You can also connect to the camera by placing the ip address in your web browser even on a smart phone. You my have to take it apart and adjust the focus by turning the lens once you mount it.

To enable wireless connectivity, you do need to connect it to the router and use the enclosed IPcamera software to configure it. The software should automatically find the camera and then you configure your wireless parameters like SSID and Security code. Save, disconnect, and plug in somewhere in range of the router. (no battery support) This model automatically sets up a ddns url that alows you to access the camera remotely.

i assume the old router died? or maybe just an upgrade?? so if its still alive can you roll back and see if you can make the camera happy again?? i assume he has his working config still loaded?? not sure what else to say so really brought no value to you, anyway if there is a way to take this offline I would be more than happy to help you otherwise good luck brother, take care

You have to go through the camera selections and set it up and you will need a memory card with WiFi ability in order to do that. You can purchase it at a photo store where they probably will also help you to set this up.
