X The setting is case-sensitive, so check upper- and lower-case characters. Make sure that the correct encryption key for authentication is entered on the camera and access point (p.69, 117). 67: Incorrect wireless LAN encryption method Are the camera and the access point set to use the same encryption method? X The camera supports the following encryption methods: [WEP], [TKIP], and [AES] (p.68, 116). If filtering by MAC address, is the MAC address of the camera used registered at the access point? X Register the MAC address of the camera used at the access point. The MAC address can be checked on the [General sett.] screen (p.149). 68: Cannot connect to wireless LAN terminal. Retry from the beginning. Did you hold down the access point's WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button for the specified period of time?
