The HERO8 Black creates its own wifi signal, that it uses to pair up and sync with your smartphone or other GoPro devices. The camera itself does not pair (or need to pair) with an external wifi signal for normal operations - that way you can use the GoPro anywhere you go whether there is wifi there or now. For the times when you might want to pair up to an external wifi signal (for example to update the camera's firmware) you can do that by connecting the GoPro using the signal via your smartphone or computer.
