“WiFi Connection Solid but No Internet” means that your camera is connected to the WiFi router but the router has no access to the Internet.
“No WiFi/WiFi disconnects” means that your camera isn’t connected to any network or the camera has disconnected from the network.
For the first-time setup, both your camera and your phone need to get access to the Internet for activation.
