You cannot tether a camera wirelessly, but you can set up LR Classic to automatically import from a "watched" folder. So if you have a wireless transfer solution that is bringing photos from your camera onto your computer, you can aim Lightroom Classic at the folder where images are being dropped, and have them automatically import to LRC.

 

This is not the same as tethering, since LRC is not controlling or talking directly to the camera.

I believe you can only tether using USB cables. Wirelessly doesn't work.
