PSU1980 posted:Do you / are you using the router supplied by your cable company? If so, their maybe some conflicts. I know that when I set up security cameras, WIFI and Via Internet browsing, I had to make adjustments to the supplied cable modem / FIOS modem. I needed Tech support to help me open up the right ports which eliminated the conflicts when using the supplied applications.
I have not played with WIFI from either manufacturer so what I mentioned may not be of any assistance. It could be causing a conflict.
The problem with the camera's is that you are trying to look into your network from the outside world. So, port forwarding needs to be enabled to connect to those devices via a PORT. So, port forwarding is needed. The
provider also locks certain ports from being used....at all. (443) secured port is typically open) But, if you stay internal to your network. Typically, there are no LOCKDOWNS on devices nor ports. Unless, you are running windows or other firewall software on your computer.....
