Theoretically the WiFi range is around 100ft. This camera should be hooked up to 60ft from the router. The WiFi signal also depend on the router you use. For example, my laptop can fine my new ATT NVG510 in 90ft. But it only find my old Netgear WGR614V9 in 40ft.

Wireless can be flaky. Reset power to both wireless router and camera whlie they are close in proximity. Try to access the camera again. If unsuccessful, you may have to temporarily use a cable, then consult the wireless admin screen in the camera. Make sure the channel in the site survey still matches the setting in the camera. When successful with wi-fi, try putting it back where you want it. good luck.

The camera is wireless b/g only. Even though you have wireless n most routers have wireless g available. Check out your documentation and see if your router supports g, it should.

I'm going to answer assuming you want to know the range between the camera and router. There is no DVR with this product. Anyway, the answer depends on a lot of variables but I can help you somewhat. I know it has an N wireless transmitter and it's range far exceeds two older (more expensive) wireless cameras i have that are only wireless G. I currently have the camera installed about 50 feet away from my router but the only thing in between is my garage and my backyard. Reception is rock solid at that distance. Hope that helps.

I do not see why not, I never got the wireless to work on mine so I have it hard cabled. It may be my router, but it says it supports it. The camera is pretty enclosed, but it is pretty light so having it outside you may want to mount it to something.

Only if you run an LAN cable out to the camera from a router. Without wireless, no signal... And of course it needs to be plugged in.

My camera receiver is right next to my wireless router and has no effect on it. The camera is located out in the motor coach, where I sometimes sit and work with my laptop and there is no effect on my wireless connection.

Make sure that the camera is within 40 feet of the router. Check your security settings for your browser (IE).

It is NOT a wireless camera. Sorry. Write HD Video Depot if you already bought it and they will hook you up with what you need. When I wrote em they were GREAT, both in time to respond and getting me what I needed.

I am planning to use the camera 30meters away from the router, with a wall in between. I suspect this will be too far. Hence my question... Thanks

Yes; by running the cable you are essentially extending your network by adding another router. Wifi will work fine as long as you are within range. Your camera setup should work the same way.

When setting up you have plug it in in your router so it learns your home network. Then you can use it wireless outside but it won't reach very far. The angle is not very good on this camera, the infra red at night is ok tho. I got the zmodo 4ch kit after returning this cam much better angles but not very good night vision cams you have to upgrade to better ones.

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

That might be a far distance. You connect the camera to a box to an outlet. The box sends the info wirelessly to another box connected to the router. From there, it goes into their server to your account. I think it's too far to send the info. I think it's better to be hard wired if it's that far away and that distance to be covered.

The wireless router needs to be pretty close to you... Myabe like within 100ft?

The camera needs to be located near your wireless router. Mine are about 200 feet from the router and both are outside of the house. You can watch the output of the cameras from any internet link. I have software called "Vitamin D" that records the video and lets me monitor on my PC at home. On my iPhone I have an app called Pro Surveilance and it works great. I can watch my house from anywhere.

This camera is not wireless. It appears you will need wireless cameras for your system. Unfortunately they are more expensive.
