Re: Connecting a camera/base station to wifi

Have you connected via a wired connection?  You have to do that before you can switch it to wireless.  It also only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi channels 1 to 11.

If neither of those is the issue, you might get more help in the "Cameras and doorbells" section of the "community":

Re: Connecting a camera/base station to wifi

Can it be any wired connection? Then moved to a different location where there's a wireless network? Thanks.

  • Great non-answer renojim. I can find several mentions that the camera base can be connected to WiFi after connecting via Ethernet. But, nothing about HOW TO ACTUALLY DO IT!

Re: Connecting a camera/base station to wifi

Thanks for the quick non-answer John. The question is- How do I switch the outdoor se camera base station from Ethernet connection to a WiFi connection? My equipment meets the retirements to do so. I just want to know the steps to take to accomplish this. Thanks

Re: Connecting a camera/base station to wifi

Thanks again John for the non-answer! You might as well just say "Read the directions". The correct answer is "Go to the Roku app, go to "base station", "device info", and then "change connection". I know I should have found it sooner, but you help people are not really much help.
