Wireless Network using Wireless Bridge Router - Experimental

First your SA2.6 Conductor for wired access.  https://support.emotimo.com/hc/en-us/articles/16468918293773-1-Getting-Started-ST4-ST4-3-SA2-6
Make sure you get a valid IP address from your DHCP network.
Make sure you set the baudrate to insure easy reconnects on power cycles
Connect to Bitfocus Companion
 
 
Once you have a good wired connection, you are set to add attempt wireless.
 
We tested this portable router:
https://a.co/d/aVdSeln - $40 delivered for many.
Configuration is required:
Follow manufacturer's instructions to log into the router - I do it wired, but you can do it wirelessly too.
Set up new password
Set up time.
Set to Repeater Mode and attach to your wireless network.  You need your wireless network to keep the same subnet (first three segments of a full IP) as your wired network.
Once you do this and reset, you can't do configs anymore through the router, but when restarted, it should log onto your wireless network and devices plugged into the Lan Port (there are two), should get an IP that is on the same subnet as your wired connection.
Test with a computer then attempt to plug in.
 

For example:
Our Network has the following:
Our 2.4/5G wireless router is Gateway 10.0.4.1
Wired Desktop with Companion is 10.0.4.6
We plugged in a Conductor to the portable router and got DHCP  10.0.4.42 (good - same subnet as our controlling computers)
We connected from Desktop computer to the Conductor with Bitfocus and have seen good reliable and stable control.  Our network's latency over wireless / wired is pretty low  - 2-3ms pings, so controls feel pretty snappy too.
We have seen reliable connections / no visible breaks.  Once we do a quick configuration on our user notes (baudrate adjustment) for the Conductor, we see no issues with power cycles of the Conductor or router.  You power it all back up, and the connection is made after the portable router comes back online - about 1:30 seconds.
The portable router draws about 2-3 watts which is significant for runtimes, but not crazy.
An added benefit of this router is you can wire you camera in too (second LAN port)  if you wanted to reach in and control it over IP as well - untested.
 
 
Worth noting - During one hardware reset attempt of the wireless router, we bricked the router where it was unresponsive.  We used the manufacture's documentation had to restore firmware via a wired connection and static IP's - this was not for everyone, but a network admin should have the skills to do so.
