Foscam Digital Technologies LLC FI8918W Quick Installation Guide Step 02) Click the SSID of your router in the list, the corresponding information (SSID & Encryption) will be filled in the following boxes automatically. NOTE: Sometimes the information filled in may differ from your true network settings. If you are unable to connect wirelessly make sure the encryption within your router is correct and the encryption selected on the page for your wireless network is correct. Try using different encryptions if you aren't able to connect with a certain type of encryption. You will only need to fill in the password of your network. This is listed as "Share Key" on the wireless settings page. If your password to connect to the internet for your router is 1234567890, you would put 1234567890 in the "Share Key" field. On the same note, if your password is something like foscam12345, you would put in foscam12345 in the field. Again, make sure that the SSID, Encryption and the password you filled in are exactly the same for your router.

Never shut down the power of the camera until the IP camera is able to connect to the wireless network. The LAN IP address will disappear on the window of IP Camera Tool when the camera is configuring a wireless connection. Wait about 1 minute, the camera should obtain a wireless connection, and the LAN IP of the camera will show again on the window of the IP Camera Tool. The IP address may have changed after the camera receives a wireless connection; we recommend setting a static local IP address if this IP address changes by right clicking the camera in IP Camera Tools, setting a static IP, and pushing OK. Congratulations! You have set up the wireless connection of the camera successfully. If you fail to make a wireless connection, please refer to your seller or contact us directly for assistance. -7-
