Hello,
I really like Cumulus software but now I have purchased the Ambient WeatherBridge wireless device so my WS-2090 is always connected to Wunderground.com. Is there a way to connect to my WS-2090 wirelessly using Cumulus software while it's permanently connected through the WeatherBridge? Thank you...

Not unless the Weatherbridge comes with software/hardware that makes it appear to the PC that it has the station directly connected to it via USB.

So, as far at you know...it has to be hardwired via USB? The Weatherbridge is like a router that you log into to make all your settings. Is it not possible to give Cumulus the IP address for a connection?

No; the Fine Offset protocol assumes a USB connection. Even if the Weatherbridge did have a facility for delivering the data from the station over TCP/IP, it would effectively be a new station type with a new protocol which Cumulus would then need to support before it could work.
