How to trouble shoot if I can't connect WiFi by using WPS?
Sometime wireless client devices can’t communicate with modem or router properly, thus can’t connect. Influencing factors include wireless channel, wireless security type and encryption, signal disturbance, the filtering settings on router or compatibility issue and so on.

You can check below points to trouble shoot.
1. Antenna on camera is fixed well;
2. Put the camera closer to router to get good signal;
3. Foscam cameras only support 2.4GHz network.
    Please pay attention if you having a dual band router which has different SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
4. No wireless Mac filtering settings on router.

Note: When the WPS method is not working, we recommend you setup wireless settings manually in camera’s page.
