I have a Wi-Fi network (at home). I have security cameras and a recorder. The recorder can be hooked to the network via 50 foot ethernet cable. However, that would mean pulling down the ceiling (in the basement) to run the wire from where the DVR is located to the office where the router is located.
I have a couple different - older - unused routers. Perhaps the correct name for them is "Gateway Router", meaning they connect to a service via phone or cable lines. I would like to plug in one of these older routers and get it to talk to the base router (I'm calling it the base router because that's where my service comes in). It is my goal to be able to upload upgrades to my security system AND to be able to access the videos remotely.
How do I make the routers talk to each other? I know their mac addresses. So - is it possible? I'd like to not spend any money on this. It's a low priority project (if it even is a project at all). But knowing how to do it would be great.
Thanks.
