Linksys AE2500 N600 Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Adapter
-
- The USB adapter must support 2.4G.
- you will need to use WIFI adapter so that the computer can communicate with the RUNCAM. Here are some that we recommend:
- Router
- Standard 2.4G
-
TP-Link
-
300Mbps Wireless N RouterTL-WR841N
-
- If you'll be using the FACERIG + PN in public space, please be aware of signal frequencies that can saturate in the area, in this case we recommend assigning the router to use specific channel (for e.g 11) instead of using auto channel selection.
- Standard 2.4G
Action Camera Setup
- Connect the USB WIFI dongle (Netgear N600) to your laptop/desktop
- The WIFI dongle should work with just the drivers only. No need to install additional software
- In the connections dialogue, select the designated WIFI connection, in this example the NETGEAR WIFI dongle is assigned Wi-Fi 4. This is where we will want our video stream to communicate.
- To turn on the RUNCAM 2, press and hold for about 3 seconds until led lights up
- To activate RUNCAM 2 WIFI, single press on the WIFI button. You should see the LED next to the button light blink several times, indicating that it's in pairing mode.
- From your computer, select the correct WIFI connection that the USB WIFI dongle has been assigned
- Once selected, search for the available SSID’s in your area and select RUNCAM’s wifi SSID, in this case RUNCAM2_b31132 (SSID is unique to each camera)
- Enter the Runcam 2 password 1234567890, this is factory default (we recommend to leave as is)
