Wifi? Is it illegally illegal to post for a wifi problem on here????

Tomgunn
Hi all,


Hope everyone's coping well!! 


OK, I bought an amazing security camera... unbelievably amazing for... just under £20! It does everything like, day and night vision, (only turn off the infrared thing as I am using an indoor security camera to cover the outside and if you have that selected it'll show up as some 10 spotlights reflecting back from the double glazing), that is also amazing! You can speak, and listen via it, and it'll record 24/7 via a micro 32GB SD card and it wipes the first on when it's full it also records to the 'cloud', (wherever that is... I guess I'll find it - eventually?).


You can watch it on anything anywhere and it's a plug and play system, with a little inputting... ANYWAYS, yes... it's fantastic and it's called a NEOS Smartcam, ( it's also known under a few differnt names as well).


So, all is good, yeah? Well... not quite. You see it needs a wifi connection. Down here, in my 'office' it's FAB but when I site it in my bedroom window, to cover the close, the wifi is hardly present.


I have a BT wifi unit, (a socket that connects to the router and an outlet for my digi TalkTalk box). BUT, when I use another BT system, that sends my wifi around the wiring... it just won't work and I think it may clash with the one feeding TT's box???


So, what's the best way to get wifi in the bedroom? 


I've looked and looked around and I don't like 'extenders'... or something that sends MORE wifi around the house, albeit 'directional'... so peep's what to do? 


I could use an internet cable but the camera doesn't have any attachment for it to plug into so there would need to be a 'device' / something, that would emit the wifi.


OK, sorry for the looooong post, hopefully someone, as I KNOW - you're all very clever lads, (and lassessess ?), out there!!


regards... Tom

    Be aware that there are now 2 versions of the BT Whole home system (White disks)

    the original (thinner disks) - now cheaper on ebay, that use 2 radios (shares the 5GHz for the mesh)

    the newer (fatter disks) -  that use 3 radios (extra 5GHz for the mesh/disk to disk comms and separate one for the AP's to the PC's/devices etc)


    AFAIK they don't mix.


    There are also some 'black disks' that come with the BT Smart Hub 2, do a similar job but rely on the BT router (Smart Hub 2) as master but again not compatible.


    But a good system nonetheless
