I suspect the issue is if you want to allow others to access its data collection (or your self when traveling) as well the need to download updates from time to time. You will need to allow your weather station access via WiFi to your Internet router's WiFi AP.
If you keep it isolated then only the mast sensor array and the console unit are communicating as well as your local PC/Laptop.
It appears you can run it in either mode.
