Setting up IP cameras & forwardng ports

That is true. It was defaulted to 2 - 254 so I just shrunk it down a bit. Your way makes sense though. Thanks

Setting up IP cameras & forwardng ports

OK, so if my DHCP server range is between 2 and 254 I need to make the IP of the secondary router 255 or higher? Netgear Router is at 192.168.1.1 I should set the linksys's at 192.168.1.255 & 192.168.1.256. Does this sound right?

Setting up IP cameras & forwardng ports

Thanks for the replies. I do have a dyndns account setup and it is setup on the router. What is the reason to use such a high port number? Is it that these are just less likely to be used already? I have IP Cam viewer on my phone and I use the Dyndns account with the port address I have...

Setting up IP cameras & forwardng ports

After doing some more reading on Wireless bridges and repeaters, I question some of the settings I am currently running on the linksys 54g(AP) and gs(wireless bridge) routers. Would the effect of this just make their function not operate properly or could this cause issues with the Netgear...

New Dell PC is locking up ??

Any chance a program could be doing it? I removed Playon and it has not locked up but this machine was supposed to run playon and some IP cam capture software. I guess I just worry they will blame something else. My Acer Athlon X2 running vista did it just fine so I figured I would be set...

Extending wireless range in house

Well, I might have figured it out. I turned off DHCP and Wan on the Linksys router. I changed the IP address and set the router as an Access Point with the same WPA/WPA2 encryption as the Netgear. I was able to connect in an area where signal was always non-existent before. I plugged the...

Extending wireless range in house

Hi all, I have been doing some reading on wireless repeating and WDS and I am confused. I recently replaced a WRT54g running Tomato 1.21 with a Netgear N600 (WNDR3700) I was able to boost the linksys but my house is pretty big so coverage was spotty. I am doing some upgrades so I bought...
