Can I connect to my surveilance console system? I need ethernet and not not want to drill hole in the walls to make this connection.
Security system is Lorex. It is not WiFi compatible. It is hard wired in. I would like to connect to the Orbi which would talk to the Orbi router which would be connected to the WiFi Router. (bridge)
If I understand correctly
- The Lorex console is in one location
- There are no Orbi units in that location
- The goal is to access the Lorex console from other locations
One solution is to install some product next to the Lorex console that will:
- Provide an Ethernet jack to connect to the Lorex console, and
- Connect to the Orbi system over WiFi.
Many models of "WiFi Extender" can do this. For example, the Netgear EX3700 https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/datasheet/en/EX3700.pdf
The EX3700 is available on Amazon for under $30US.
