Fair enough.
Now if real, legal, `security` was an issue
then you`d want a solid connection all of
the time ... and one wi-fi point likely won`t
provide that.
Did a very quick look at fail-over network
connections, but almost everything assumes
multiple routers and perhaps iptables
nastiness.
Easiest ... add one wifi extender, log into
the camera, see whether you get more bars
with the main or the extender.
