Static IP on an IP camera

I have a wireless IP camera with a fixed IP that I'm trying to join onto my network. My router defaults to the 192.168.1.xxx subnet, whereas the camera is fixed to 192.168.0.xxx. which is presumably why when I enter the WiFi details it isn’t showing up on my device list …?
I tried adding an IP range on the router to include the camera - though wasnt sure if I needed to alter the dhcp pool too ? Either way what I tried didn't seem to work. Could anyone point me in the right direction please ?
Any help very gratefully received.

You either need to move the camera into the same subnet as the router, or move the router (and the rest of your network) to match the camera...

I did try to access it through the new IP address and the browser just times out. Once I've made changes on it I lose access. Only a reset seems ton get me back in.
The camera is a wansview nc541w - how would I move the network to match the camera ? Could you point me at a guide or help with what to do at all please ?

You are remembering to change your PC's IP address as well aren't you?
1. Put your PC on 192.168.0.xxx
2. Go to the camera admin GUI and change its address to 192.168.1.yyy (where yyy is outside the range of DHCP addresses given out by the router
3. Reboot the camera if necessary
4. Change your PC back to 192.168.1.xxx (or DHCP if that's what you use)
5. Connect to the camera admin GUI

I went through all these hoops with my IP camera when I switched to PN from Sky.

I've made some progress
I have managed to change the IP subnet on the camera to match the router - I think it must be a browser issue...I changed to Firefox, and then switched the IP details and rebooted the camera as before - changed the direct Ethernet connection IP and logged in under the new IP - only this time it worked.
At the moment it still isn't showing up on the router for the wireless connection though - And I've read it may be that it doesnt work on 802.11n - only on b/g. Is that something I can define on the router does anyone know ?

If the router doesn't see the camera on wifi, then the router needs to redetect the camera and be allowed to connect to it. You do this through "Search for wireless devices" in "Home Network" >> "Interfaces" then select your wifi interface!

I have seen several Wireless G devices that refuse to connect to a Wireless N router (unless set to B/G only).
What's worse, one of them also refuses to connect if someone else within range is using a Wireless N router!

The issue is that for some reason that router drops connections all the time .... So I used telnet to change the plusnet router to just b/g - but strangely it still won't connect ..... It's the same encryption and now the same protocol so I'm baffled again .....
