  3. Check battery levels. The battery level indicator should show at least 2 bars.
  4. Connect your camera to the computer.

Step 2 - Set Up Wireless

Note: If you chose the Software Update Only option, you will not go through this step.

This is the step where you create your camera’s name and Wi-Fi password. If your camera has had trouble connecting to the GoPro App in the past, renaming the camera and resetting its password can clear up the issue.

Here are password requirements:

Your password must be at least 8 characters. It can contain the following characters: Lower and upper case letters, numbers 0-9, at symbol '@', dash '-', and underscore '_'.
