      Fair enough.   
      
      Now if real, legal, 'security' was an issue   
      then you'd want a solid connection all of   
      the time ... and one wi-fi point likely won't   
      provide that.   
      
      Did a very quick look at fail-over network   
      connections, but almost everything assumes   
      multiple routers and perhaps iptables   
      nastiness.   
      
      Easiest ... add one wifi extender, log into   
      the camera, see whether you get more bars   
      with the main or the extender.
