   Fair enough.

   Now if real, legal, 'security' was an issue
   then you'd want a solid connection all of
   the time ... and one wi-fi point likely won't
   provide that.

   Did a very quick look at fail-over network
   connections, but almost everything assumes
   multiple routers and perhaps iptables
   nastiness.

   Easiest ... add one wifi extender, log into
   the camera, see whether you get more bars
   with the main or the extender.
