But I see a setup video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOWs1ymDfN4
You're right. Not a plug and play but seems like a good solution.
Hello friends,
I have a need for more WIFI power to get to my wireless security cameras. I am tired of seeing "lost connection."
I have an AT&T Uverse router/modem but it doesn't seem to extend to the cameras on the back of my home with a strong signal. A friend gave me an Open-Mesh A40 Access Point to try but my question is; I know it is not just plug-n-play so can I use the same SSID and password so I don't have to take down my cameras and have to reconnect them. If I can use it, how do I set it up? I went to Open-Mesh website and I do not see anything showing me how to connect.
Thank you all for your support.
