Foscam FI8918W Wifi not working: Try 2

In a previous post, I talked about the problems I had with a Foscam FI8919W.  The wifi was cutting out, so I had to resort to using an ethernet cable.  Once I started using the ethernet cable, everything was working fine.  I didn't know if I had a dud or if it is a problem with the line of cameras.  Because of that, when I had a need for another camera, I decided to purchase another one.  Unfortunately, that camera had similar issues.

I bought the new camera to sit inside my living room, pointing out the front window.  Although I could run ethernet, I really wanted to use the wifi.  The first camera didn't quite have line of site.  The wifi signal did have to travel through the floor to get to the router, but the router was directly under the camera.  For this second camera, I have a secondary access point in the living room.  The access point is literally 10 feet away from the camera.  The second camera does last longer than the first camera.  The first camera would cut out after 5 minutes.  The second camera at least lasts a few hours.  I don't use the camera all the time, but if every time I want to use the camera I have to physically unplug and plug the power to the camera, then it does become kind of useless to me.  On the plus side, since the baby's room already has ethernet, my wife is very excited about possible having a second camera pointing at the crib.

At this point, I can't recommend Foscam to anyone.  I did try to give the brand a second chance, but it just didn't work out.
