Both require ethernet to connect to the router.  They generate their own closed wifi network for the cameras.

The most importance difference between them is that the VMB5000 uses microSD cards for local storage, while the VMB4540 uses USB drives.  The VMB5000 has both 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz - which really doesn't matter much.  Only the Ultra-2 cameras support 5 Ghz, and even they generally end up using 2.4 ghz (since that gives better performance at the typical distance between the camera and the base).
