The instructions I'm familiar with state that, if the GS-911 is connected by WiFi directly to your phone, you're in the device-to-device (D2D) mode and only emergency functions are available. To get cloud functions you first establish a D2D connection, then use the 10.0.0.1 web page to connect the GS-911 to the WiFi network you wish to use for internet functions (breaking its connection with your phone), and finally connect your phone to the same network. The phone would only have one external connection, the WiFi network.
