WebUI Network settings - Use DHCP issue #254
Comments
using static address on a wifi connection is a bad practice in general, pin the mac address to a desired ip address on your dhcp router and that will be equal to a static ip with a twist that you won't be locked out of the network if the target address is already accidentally occupied. nevertheless, i'll look into the dhcp form later this week. |
I know all that. That's how I used to have it set up when I used wz_mini_hacks. But with my configuration I had some problems so when I saw that I can set up static IP with thingino firmware, I decided to do it this way. Thanks for your response. |
technically, wpa_supplicant can handle multiple networks. but i never tried that on camera, only on a full desktop. here's a little info https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/11631/how-to-setup-multiple-wifi-networks |
After reading the information on the link that you gave me, it looks promising. But I can't do anything about it. I don't know much about Linux and I can't compile the firmware. |
I have downloaded the latest firmware on WyzeCam 3 and I have noticed the following issue.
When I go to WebUI and network settings, I select "Use DHCP" to OFF. I set IP and other fields.
When I click "Save Changes" the "Use DHCP" switch goes back to ON.
After rebooting the camera and opening the WebUI network settings page the switch "Use DHCP" is ON.
When I turn it OFF it shows that parameters that I set before, though!
And it shows:
# cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.0.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1
So it looks like it is the switch position that is incorrect
I checked on the second camera with older firmware and the switch "Use DHCP" retains the state that it was set to.
