Hi Grant,


Thank you for the quick reply and my apologies for how vague I was in my initial response was.


I am connecting to a local device over local WiFi (no ISP). I have a solid connection to the local IP address on my iPhone. However, my laptop is having issues with maintaining a connection. I have TG Pro (fan controller) installed on my M1 MacBook Pro and noticed connection drops when temperature for the Wireless Proximity is above 100°.


If there is other information I can give

you that’s helpful, please let me know.


Thanks!

Packets going toward the internet are sent to the TOPMOST, working interface shown in:

system preferences > networks


provided the camera has a local address, it may (or may not use the "Switch" portion of your Router, but its data will generally NOT be sent onto the Internet to get there. Your Mac looks around over all its interfaces and can find strictly local devices. I mentioned Network Printers and Network Attached Storage (NAS) as common devices.


Your Mac Discovery Protocol, based on IPv6 to do this process.

IPv6:

System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > (advanced) >TCP/IP > IPv6 ... to Link-local only


ON may cause routing activity that interferes with your networking. 

OFF will make it hard to find printers and other services on your network.
