It's not so simple since the ruter in question needs to support devices like the one you've mentioned. I know of some routers that only support external storage devices and nothing else(like a printer) which is why I'm concerned that it'll lack that support. When you speak of an I{ camera it's best to connect the camera to an Ethernet port on your router. FYI, what does the manual say about it's installation? Mind sharing the make and model of your IP Camera as well as the router?
