How do I switch all cameras, simultaneously, to a new or different wifi router all at once?
Or, is there a way to ‘save’ wifi router addresses for a later reconnect?
Reason is that I full time RV’er and I use 3 different routers at 3 different places, have occasionally used Pilot/Flying J wifi, and I’m sure there will be others that I revisit, and I use 10 cameras in and on my RV, and reconnecting 10 cameras between routers is not fun or stealthy to say the least, therefore I use only a couple that I can reprogram without being overly noticed; 4 out of 10 typically.
If this ‘saved routers address’ feature doesn’t exist, any WYZE programmers out here, add this feature and this alone would sell, in my opinion, especially to full time RV’ers.
A Jetpack is the alternative but data is spent ridiculously fast and I need that bandwidth for work alone.
Currently, the only method is to make sure all of the Routers, at each location has the same SSID and Password, knowing both are case sensitive. If the routers you are using is at an RV Park, then this may not be an option. However, you can utilize a Mobile Router, for travel purposes and then connect to it. then the router can be set to connect to the RV locations System. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6zYUbnBHIU
Other than that, you will need to manually change the SSID and Password by going through the setup process, without removing them from the App.
As @spamoni said, as long as you don’t have reason to believe your wifi credentials have been compromised, just set the new router to use the exact same SSID and password as the old. Make sure WPA2 is enabled (preferably WPA2 only and not WPA2/3) and they all should come right back. Also ensure it has 802.11N enabled on the 2.4ghz frequency as some routers are defaulting to disable that.
This makes it so all your stuff, not just Wyze cams, will just come back online without any intervention needed (usually).
Thank you, spamoni, I purchased a mobile router (GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX), and can’t thank you enough for the good information and enlightening me to a commonly implemented solution that I was quite ignorant of.
I chose this router for the SD slot and quad core processor as I also use the WYZE Duo as a dashcam, when using a jetpack, along with several other fixed and PT cams.
Thank you for your input, dave27. I found the mobile router to be the best solution for me after an hours long night of research as I wasn’t savvy with mobile routers.
The router I chose (GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX), supports 802.11n too, so thank you again for that information.
Yeah the GL routers have come a long way, they used to be cheap portable hotspots for use in hotels etc (and they worked fine for that) but now do some quite powerful VPN stuff and even just plain normal routers.
Their main benefit they’ve always had is being able to have wifi as the WAN connection (which is pretty uncommon), which if you’re in an RV, I’m assuming is quite handy to have.
