Greetings,
The R50 uses a more modern connection standard which is not as friendly as the old standard.

For wireless connection two connection methods can be used. Connect to wireless network or Connect to camera. The first requires that you connect your camera and your smartphone to the same wireless network. The latter method allows your smartphone to connect directly to the camera. This is called access point mode (AdHoc) connection. This one is the most common since it doesn't require an external network and works anywhere. It's possible for you to manually specify the camera's SSID broadcast name and password. Personally, I don't modify these, I use what the camera creates automatically. Once the camera is broadcasting, you can open up your phones network settings and select your cameras wireless broadcast.
I use the manual connection method as it allows me to see the SSID and password. The new connection standard is a little more cumbersome to use, but you can eventually get there with a few button presses.
See the other thread that my colleague referenced above. I have some screenshots there.
Review the user guide for more information.
