How do we change the IP Address of access points

Hi Len,

I'm retired as well so it's given me time to "get into trouble" with my camera.

It's a Canon SL2 200D. The camera can introduce a static SSID to the router but it designates an address which ends with "1.??". My network is a subnet of "0.??".

I've found that it sometimes connects to one of my wifi existing SSIDs but it's not consistent

I think I just need to learn more about subnets.

It's just that the camera won't always connect to the existing SSIDs so I saw that it can create its own SSID within the router. But with the designated static address it does not connect.

Anyway, not a big deal. I just wish the WiFi would always connect.

Thanks for your help Len.

To clarify the situation.

Router is a device which usually provides an AP (wifI Access Point) , SSID is the name for one of it’s wifi connections.

camera can act as a client and connect to AP via SSID offered by the router and obtain the dynamic IP from it’s DHCP server which is in the same subnet as all the devices connected to that SSID.
Camera doesn’t introduce anything to the router, but it’s MAC addres (forget it)

If you don’t want to connect both devices via the common AP (router, in your words) and particular SSID on it , you can connect both devices directly, when they are capable of it. One makes and AP and publishes it’s SSID . Accordingly, it offers it’s own IP range/subnet via it’s own DHCP server. The other one joins as a client using that SSID.
