IP Camera (Foscam f18910w) Problem

I have a Foscam f18910w IP Wireless camera and I was setting it up using the iOS Owlr app. I plug the camera into the router using the ethernet cable the app picks it up and it works great. The problem is, when I unplug it (it does have a wireless antenna) it disconnects and looses connection.
My question is, how do I do I keep the camera functioning using the wireless antenna so I do not have to be connected via the ethernet?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Ah, I was afraid of that :) I was hoping to be able to set it up via my phone. I have a Macbook Pro that does not have an ethernet plug! Looks like I will need to buy a lightening to ethernet adapter.

Hello,

I don't understand the hang-up

When it's working on the router, you should be able to log into it and set up the wireless settings. You wouldn't need a dedicated wired adapter for your client as the camera contains a DHCP client by default, connected to the router you will be able to access the administrative panel.
