You own an SD card with a built-in Wi-Fi module that lets you connect to a network called EZSHARE. This opens a site where you can view and download photos stored on the card. You’re currently using a regular Google Wi-Fi router connected to your modem, which runs a separate network like "HOME_WIFI." The signal from the SD card is limited to about 5 feet. You’re curious if linking the SD card to your home router could improve coverage and let you access photos via your existing Wi-Fi connection. Alternatively, you might consider using a dedicated router as a repeater to boost the signal range. Feel free to ask for more details or advice.
