Wifi IP cameras connected to router
I currently have 2 IP cameras (2.4 ghz) setup on a WNR2000 V5. Unfortunately, due to obstructions, I'm not getting a signal solid enough to change settings on the cams. The router is located adjacent...

Can I use an extender, like the WN3000RP, at the intermediate location to receive the cam signals that would then transmit to the existing router. If so, how would the settings work?
Yes, I said that earlier.
The extender will use a different network name from the main router. So you will either need to
- change the IP camera settings to connect to the new network name,
- change the router's network name, and then configure the extender's network name to match the router.
I described the second option above.
