EX6200 Extender - Have I got the right product?
Hi guys, I need some help. I have a Telstra NBN router into the home. I have a Swann CCTV system set up in my shed. I've purchased an EX6200 Wireless extender which I have set up and it works fine ...

Can you access the Internet through the extender using your iPhone? I haven't tried but I assume so.
I've had a look at the documentation but can't see anything relevant to my request.
Apologies from me as I am a bit of a technical simpleton - just having a try to get this working and got to a point I can't solve.
Thanks

You will have to set up your extender to connect to the Internet before your camera can send stuff from the CCTV to the Internet, if that is how it works. I am familiar with Netgear's Arlo hardware, which works like that.
There doesn't seem to be much point in having an extender if you cannot use it to get on to the Internet. That is the whole point of the thing.
The Swann Iphone app is probably using wifi to read the CCTV's pictures.
Perhaps your best bet is to talk to people who use the Swann technology. Get them to explain how to set it up and then work out how to transfer those settings to your Netgear system.
