You can set up a direct Wi-Fi connection from your Zoom Room Mac computer to your Zoom Room Controller if your location has an ethernet only connection, or if your network does not allow traffic between the Zoom Rooms computer and controller. 

A direct wi-fi connection is only available with a Mac computer and an ethernet connection. If you only have Wi-Fi or a PC computer, you will need to configure your network firewall to allow traffic between the Zoom Room computer and controller.
