Hi Y??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 200?? +- from the Wi-Fi router I wish to connect to (I have 2 household networks). ?ÿNo problem except the camera requires an Ethernet connection. That??s fine too as I have a few old Wi-Fi routers lying around.

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

This is the camera:

I thought you said you have Grandkids?

?ÿ

I can ask my 12yo grandson the next time I see him...

JK-My IT guy is pretty sharp, I'm sure he can help you; I'll ask him when he gets back...

?ÿ

In the mean time: I hope every one has a STELLAR Weekend! I know I will.

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
