| May 11, 2023 at 16:15 | comment | added | ElenorDavey | @YisroelTech, that worked! I obtained the camera's IP address while connected to the extended network. Next, I switched to the original network. Using the same IP address, I could connect to the camera. Even though I can still not see the camera as a device connected to my original router, I can now connect to it! charlesz and YisroelTech, thanks for your help. | |

If it works, configure your DHCP server on your router to assign your camera's MAC address to a static IP so in the future you can always use the same IP to connect. | |

Therefore, I can't connect to the camera..." not coming up in the list doesn't necessarily mean you can't connect to it. Have you actually tried going to the camera's IP (it didn't change from when you were connected to the extender)? | |
| May 10, 2023 at 20:45 | comment | added | ElenorDavey | If I run the command hostname -I, I get the same response whether I am connected to my original network or the extended network: 192.168.1.12 Is this the information needed to determine whether the extender works in the correct mode? | |
| May 10, 2023 at 20:23 | comment | added | charlesz | Your extender must work in AP mode to make sure all devices connect to extender are on the same local network. Please verify this by connecting your laptop to both router and extender, and check if its IP addresses in both networks are in the same network (e.g., both 192.168.1.*). | |
