I have here an gopro and I would like to connect to it while still being able to browse the internet, so I connect my wifi to the gopro's one ( and I can interact with it) but when I then use my usb - LAN adapter I can connect to the internet, but not to the gopro anymore

I think this sould be possible by adding routes, but I don't have any experiance on routes on windows. Anyone got an idea on how to accomplish this?

Additional info: If you are connnected to the gopro and go to the 10.5.5.9:8080 in your browser you can interact with the footage / live stream

  • Seems like a problem with the GoPro- I would need more information to determine this, however. You mentioned a USB to Ethernet Adapter... Does this imply you are using a Laptop? or are you using a Desktop? – Ben Franchuk Jul 03 '14 at 09:18
  • Yea I'm working on a laptop, and I personally don't think its a problem with the gorpo. I updated the info on original post with some more details – Kiwi Jul 03 '14 at 09:21
  • So if you're working on a Laptop, why would you need an adapter? Does your laptop not have a built in ethernet adapter or Wi-Fi on its own? – Ben Franchuk Jul 03 '14 at 09:22
  • It only has wifi (asus zenbook) so for connecting to lan I need an external connector – Kiwi Jul 03 '14 at 09:23
  • Why not just connect the GoPro dirrectly to the computer via USB? This should work the same as over wi-fi. – Ben Franchuk Jul 05 '14 at 03:58
  • @BenFranchuk Because it's not for transfering the video's, it's for setting up the setting :) – Kiwi Jul 06 '14 at 18:25
  • @Kiwi I use GoPro's Android app (named Connect) to change the camera's settings, it's easier than using a laptop. I don't think there is any option to connect the gopro to your wifi, it only can broadcast its network, at least in my model (Hero5 Session) – quezak Jul 10 '17 at 16:19

Try doing this:

You'll need a spare wireless router with DD-WRT or something similar but once setup you'll be good to go.
