Can I the ethernet socket on my wifi camera as a router?

Recommended Posts

All,

 

I have a wifi camera that I will be mounting on my deck. I would like to mount another IP cam nearby. Can I plug my IP cam into the ethernet port of my wifi cam and share the wireless connection?

A router is a server with 2 network connectors, and software that determines when to connect them to each other.

 

What is called a wireless router is a server with one network connection to a larger network - the WAN connector - and a switch which usually connects 4 ports to each other. a wireless router is a router, switch, and access point in one box.

 

you need a switch to connect the cameras to each other and the computer you use to view the video. A router works fine as a switch.
