Hi. When I try to connect to my phone through an access point, the camera gives me an address that is masked out and I can't use it.

Is there a way to change its IP Address to accommodate all home networks? If so how?

Many thanks for your help!

Your subject line asks how to change the IP address of a WiFi access point (AP, a network device) but your message asks about the IP address of the camera. I assume you mean camera, as most of us don't have APs at home. At any rate, once your camera attaches to WiFi, it will be assigned a compatible IP address by the DHCP server on the network (typically your router at home).

What make / model is your camera? I think the answer is the same: No (as far as I've seen), but maybe higher-end cameras might allow it.
