Hmm I really have no clue what to think

So far the camera havent had any connection to the internet. (with antivirus and windows firewall turned off). I had the camera up running so I was able to see through the camera (through the installation wizard), but was not able to finish the installation wizard since it had not made the MyDLink Account.
I was wondering if it would help to update the camera with the newest firmware ?
(I have downloaded it....when I have unpacked the file, it seems to be file I have no program to read/run it with?)
To be honest this is starting to be a little confusing and frustrating.
