WiFi Devices Connected To Home Network

Trainlover9943OGR Forum Member

Today I got in the DCS WiFi unit (was able to successfully upgrade it to 1.1) I have one (for now, I'll probably get a few more) of the camera cabooses and the Lionel WiFi unit. I have the camera caboose connected to my home network. Currently, each WiFi unit has it own connection it makes, I'd prefer to have either them connected to my home network or at least connect them together so I only have to use one network to run my trains as opposed to two. Any thoughts on what I should do?

I have mine setup to connect to a router dedicated to the train layout without internet access but you can connect it to your house router as well.

I like it connected to my network so I don't have to keep changing networks on the devices. I've never noticed any impact on performance of my network using the 802.11b device on it.

Cool. I think that's the route I will go. Thanks.
