Hi Yƒ??all, and Thank you in advance.

SWMBO wants an underwater camera for observation of aquatic life in our Lake/Pond. The location of the camera is about 200ƒ?? +- from the Wi-Fi router I wish to connect to (I have 2 household networks). ?ÿNo problem except the camera requires an Ethernet connection. Thatƒ??s fine too as I have a few old Wi-Fi routers lying around.

My question is: Do I set up the ƒ??old Wi-Fi routerƒ? as a BRIDGE or a WIFIHOTSPOT?

This is the camera:

He said try both; then use the one that works, then he laughed...

I'll have you know I had a part-time job, circa 1985, at a game room. This guy converted an old Safeway, and he had 200+ video games; I was the PacMan champ!

Seeing as you need to connect the camera to a wired port, I would think you need to connect the router as a bridge.?ÿ

Don't ask me how, I've never had any luck getting mine to work, but then I never really had the time to work on it.

Those router manuals are confusing.?ÿ
