WiFi... How are you connecting to your SDS200

[markjrenna]

I am looking to see how others are connecting their SDS 200 with WiFi when they don't Ethernet near by. Ultimately want to use ProScan.

Has anyone used this on your SDS 200? Can the USB on the SDS 200 power it?

The big cheese mentioned it here:

But there was no follow up that I saw.

I tried the IOGEAR but it has not worked. I have d-link wifi adapter near my desk, so I just connected it directly with a cable.

Awesome! Thanks to the both of you.

So once you have it hooked up to a WiFi bridge or directly connected via a ethernet cable then what can you do next with it? I guess maybe there is some software out there to connect to it or what? Its probably been talked about in another thread. Hopefully I can be pointed to it

Also, I see that there is a USB cable connected to the USB A slot. What cable is this being used for? Interesting

It powers the bridge.

And my other SDS 200 is direct wired to the router.

I have owned the TP-Link AV2000 set for over a year and it works great. I use mine to extend a wire to.my desktop and to my detached garage where I deployed a WiFi access point.

so i have a VONETS AC1200 Mini Wireless Bridge Repeater Wi-Fi Dual Band Bridge Range Extender (VAP11AC) so i can set up the wifi hotspot on it then use the Ethernet cable from he bridge into the sds200 and run lan connection with proscan and listen that way with out having the Ethernet hooked into the router?

 

[jvaillancourt]

Just to be clear, you only need to order this if you DON'T have an ethernet jack nearby? If you do have a jack, you could just plug it in the front and be good to go to stream on the web?

 

[UPMan]

That is correct.

 

[ansky]

What functionality do you gain by connecting to the network?

 

[buddrousa]

#1. Remote monitoring
#2. Remote control
#3. Remote programming
If you use PROSCAN.

 

[markjrenna]

Very valuable!

Has anyone connected the sds200 lan direct to a windows 10 computer? I would like to hook mine up this way..why because I have a Verizon hotspot with no lan ports. I want to send a feed out that way with proscan. And yes I know about getting wifi repeaters with bridging but want to hook it direct for it's in my car. Want to know how to bridge it direct scanner to computer if it can be done. Have straight and twisted cables but not sure what to use ot how to configure it can anyone help?
