I could be wrong, but my thinking here is that even though your are connecting the camera and the phone wirelesslely, you are not going through your router; which would be kind of cool if you are out in the field somewhere. (I personally haven't tried that yet).

Couldn't you try it by just unplugging your router for the time it takes to do the test?

Just out of curiosity, I did just that. I turned off the router and unplugged it from the wall.

The connection went right through. The phone to camera connection doesn't go through the router.
