Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top I have a GoPro Hero3+ camera, and I want to stream it to my PC. Looking online there are many guides to doing just that, but they all require me to be on the same wifi network as the GoPro itself. My PC doesn't have a wifi; it's connected to a wireless router. Is there a way to connect my router to the GoPro wifi network, therefore "extending" my LAN to include the GoPro, so I could connect to it from the PC? My router is a D-Link DSK-6850U. wireless-networking router gopro gopro-wifi I think this is not that easy. Because this GoPro acts as Wifi-AP. So your Wifi-Router should connect you to the GoPro as Client. I think one solution could be to setup a raspberry pi with an wifi antenna and connect it to the GoPro. Now connect the raspberry pi into you network via LAN. Now there are 2 ways to connect to the go pro. Connect via something like vnc to you raspberry pi and open a web browser on the raspberry and open the URL from the gopro

Setup a routing between this 2 networks on the raspberry and you client The second solution is more difficult, but if it is setup you can connect to your gopro via your own network. I will just spill out few ideas here, and you see what you can work from that You could buy an additional router, which you would change to client mode (it would connect to gopro), and connect it to GoPro. Then, that router would be connected to your existing router, thus giving you connection from your computer to the camera. Bad side of this is obviously buying a new router. On the bright side, router would probably automatically connect when the camera is in range and you would have instant access. If you are not using your current router's wifi (highly unlikely, but possible), you could change it's mode of operation to client, and work same as no (1) 3. USB WiFi for your computer As already pointed out above, you can buy cheap USB WiFi adapter for the computer. 4. Removable disk over the LAN

If I read right, when you connect your GoPro to the computer, you get the removable disk from which you can copy files? If so, then you could find a router (or maybe your current router has an option) to which you could connect GoPro using USB and share it's storage with everyone on network. Downside of this is that GoPro probably cannot work while connected to USB, which means you will probably be unable to record while connected, altough I am not sure about that. broken c3po backpackAlso, this is basically the same as connecting GoPro to the computer (i.e. is not wireless).kavu paxton backpack This all is only my opinion, and I don't know if any of these ideas are applicable to your case.kloud backpack cover

Let me know what you think. I've tried to do what the author described. I have linksys switch with DD-WRT installed. I have examined the wireless modes and I guess that one is missing to be created yet, which would allow what you have discribed and what i also tried yesterday (and i'm googling for the sollution). What i managed to do: create a bridge to mobile phone`s access point (camera or in my case mobile phone access point, to emulate cameras access point) and at the same time keep the internet connection on the switch. g751 backpackSo only the packages were able to arrive towars the phone, but the network couldn't see it after all.ss13 backpack water tank So i gues currently it's impossible to do what you described and what i was seeking for also (maybe it will be in future though).backpack ipack

As an extra way to stream: you can get a video card with HDMI INPUT (those are a bit more expensive). This doesn't cover what you are looking for, but adds an extra option to consider. I actually stumbled on this because I was checking to see if the GoPro can be accessed via LAN. I'll tell you that what I plan on doing is putting a small 4G hot spot on my drone and have the GoPro set up to connect to that network. Then in the 4g hotspot's router settings, I am going to set up port forwarding on port 8080 or something, that way I can access the GoPro from any computer with internet via the public IP of the 4g network.

Well I did so I decided to try an experiment. One nice thing about this project is you don�t have to make any modifications in either the GoPro housing or viewer (Nexus 7 tablet in my case). I picked up some RG174 coax cable and set about to find out how far this cable could transmit the Wi-Fi signal when the GoPro was underwater. I chose RG174 cable because it was cheap and easy to handle (thin and flexible). I�m sure there are other cables that will work but this one did what I needed. I first tried 100 feet and didn�t receive any signal. I then tried 75 feet and received a weak signal but not strong enough to connect to the GoPro App on my Nexus 7 tablet.

I then tried 50 feet and found this was the sweet spot. I received a usable signal and the GoPro App worked well (with real time viewing and recording). So this is how it works: GoPro Wi-Fi broadcasts on a frequency of 2.4 GHz, unfortunately water absorbs this frequency so the Wi-Fi signal can�t travel through much water before it gets absorbed (that�s why you lose Wi-Fi connection when you submerge your GoPro in water). But if you place some coax cable next to the GoPro housing and the other end next to the antenna of a Wi-Fi compatible device (Nexus 7 tablet in my case), the cable acts as a conduit for the signal to travel along so it doesn't get absorbed by the water around it. There is only one thing you need to do to make this system work; remove the outer black plastic and braided wire shield from each end of the coax cable. The amount you remove is important; for a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal, which has a wavelength of 12.5 cm (4.92 inch), you need to remove 6.3 cm (2.5 inches) of casing from each end (1/2 the wavelength).

You could expose the entire 12.5 cm on each end but 6.3 fits perfect on the back of the GoPro and it works fine. You can leave the white plastic shield around the inner cable and add some glue around the open ends too seal it from water (if you want to use it for an extended period of time). I placed one end of the cable near the internal Wi-Fi antenna on the upper part of the back of the GoPro Hero 3+ housing and taped it in place (if you were to make this a permanent setup you could glue or epoxy it in place). The other end was taped to the back of a waterproof bag housing my Nexus 7 tablet (the Wi-Fi antenna is located near the top of the tablet). I used a waterproof case because I knew it was going to be used around water and I wanted to protect the tablet. That�s really all there is to it. When you have this cable in place and turn on your GoPro Wi-Fi transmitter, you should be able to see and control your subnerged camera in real-time. Cable with its outer covering intact (A)
