How does it work?

Can I connect smart devices such as lights, CCTV camera and smart switches?
Yes, absolutely. You will be able to connect to the Wi-Fi connection with your smart devices in the same way you connect them to your router at home.
For your Wi-Fi connection to stay active, your router needs continuous power. This is especially important for Wi-Fi CCTV cameras, as they'll require the router to be on even when you're absent. The longevity of your Wi-Fi connection in these situations will depend on your battery's capacity.
