The Access point will now Reboot automatically to apply the changes. Next, disable the DHCP server since it is not needed in this scenario. Write down this IP address, as you will need later on. You need to find an IP that is not being used on your WiFi network.Įnter this IP into the IP address field, and do not enter a Gateway. Now under Network Setup, we need to change the router IP settings. Under Optional Settings, I se the below (you can choose the name you like): So if you see an IP address next to the WAN IP just leave it as it is, you also have the option of changing the Connection Type to DHCP if you like, it won’t affect anything. You need to go back to the previous page and check that the GoPro is connected properly to the Access Point. If you see zeros next to the WAN IP, subnet and gateway, it means that the access point did not connect to the GoPro. Now go back to Setup, change the Connection type to Static IP, then give it a few seconds to refresh. Once you see it, it means that the GoPro is connected to your newly set up access point. You will see it in the list under Wireless Nodes. Once the access point has rebooted, go to Status tab and wait for the GoPro to connect to the access point. Now the DD-WRT access point will reboot to apply the new settings.

Then under that, you have to put your GoPro WiFi password phrase.

Now click, on the Wireless Security tab and Choose WPA2 Personal as Security Mode. You will see a message that you have successfully joined the network.Īnother screen will appear under the Basic Settings tab showing the GoPro WiFi name, don’t change any setting here and just click save. Once you see your GoPro’s WiFi in the list, click on Join. Your GoPro should appear in the list, if it’s not then make sure it’s WiFi is ON then try again. Site survey will detect all the neighboring wireless networks, this will enable me to see the WiFi network of the GoPro. Once I’m logged in to the router, I go to “Status” then “Wireless”, then I click on “Site Survey”. I then login to the router, make sure the GoPro is turned on. I can test that I’m connected by pinging the Bridge Router IP address (you should already have this). I start by turning off the WiFi on my laptop, then I will connect the Bridge Router via an ethernet cable to my laptop. Let’s Jump to the Setup! Setting up the Bridge router Ok, so just before I start, as I said before, both routers should have DD-WRT firmware running on them or else it won’t be possible to have the configuration options I’m going to show you now. I will just walk you through the steps at a high level so you can understand what I will be doing.ġ- Configure the Bridge Router to run in Client Mode so it will act as a Bridge.Ģ- Configure the Home Router with a static route to allow traffic from the GoPro camera to the Home Router.ģ- Connect the Bridge Router to the back of the Home RouterĤ- Test GoPro connectivity and use Camera Suite for Live Preview I will then create a static route on the main router to allow traffic from the GoPro to the WiFi network.įor the sake of clarity, I am going to name the WiFi home router: Home Router and the other router: Bridge Router. The rest of the IP addresses will be different than mine, so your IPs will be different. The default IP address for the GoPro is 10.5.5.9. I’m gonna connect the DD-WRT router to the main router. You can always use a USB to ethernet adapter if you don’t have an ethernet port on your laptop.

A laptop or desktop with an ethernet port.

Your GoPro camera, I use my GoPro Hero 6 Black.

So if you have a bit of free time, it would be a really fun project to do. I would like to point out that this guide is technical and requires a bit of network knowledge and understanding of your current home WiFi setup including IP addresses and knowledge in DD-WRT firmwares. But really the goal of this guide is to enable you to connect your GoPro to your WiFi home network and not to your computer’s WiFi, you will then be able to browse the internet and connect to your GoPro simultaneously.
