How to Connect DCS-8526LH to a Wi-Fi Network Using mydlink App

Feature Description

If you need to change your camera’s Wi-Fi connection—whether because you have changed your internet provider, bought a new router, or updated your Wi-Fi name or password causing the camera to go offline—you can follow these steps to switch the camera's Wi-Fi connection. However, note that this feature only works for specific models. For DCS-6XXXLH models, you will need to reset the camera to reconnect it to a new Wi-Fi network.
