Q: QuestionI own this wireless router but NEED a security camera that will work with this - any advice?

Asked 5 years ago by AngieT.

• A:Answer Any IP capable camera should work with this. All you need to do is make sure its set on DHCP mode on the camera because thses devices come preconfigured as DHCP server. It should be able to work with any IP camera. If you know networking very well you can decide to use static or manual configuration. Both wireless and Wired camera should work well on it

Q: QuestionHi, can I use it to upload videos to any platfomr?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Remember that this is just a HUB You will be using it to access the internet as a hotspot So, you'll still be using a Desktop, or Laptop and uploading to any platform such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc.. from your computer. It can not be used independent of a computer or other device which is needed to host the file you want to upload, You can't just plug a usb thumb drive into this unit and upload. It doesn't work that way. I hope my answer helps.
