What are you doing wrong? You don't have the router connected, that's what you're doing wrong.
In order for the Dashboard to display images from the camera, it needs to be able to receive images from the camera. That means the computer running the Dashboard program (your Driver Station notebook) needs a network connection to the camera. If you don't have the camera plugged into the router, you don't have a network connection to it.
It is possible to connect the camera to the 8-slot cRIO's second Ethernet port, but you have to run special code on the robot to read the camera and forward the images to the Dashboard, and you have to modify the Dashboard program to read the images from the cRIO instead of directly from the camera.
