XR1000 & Blink Security Cameras
Hello - I am looking for advice on the XR 1000 router in connection with Blink Security Cameras. Under Device Manager - Network Map, I have discovered the 4 cameras and corrected the type of equipmen...
Hello everyone
Happy to advise this forum & those who opined on the issue we were encountering with the Blink cameras. After 2 hours on phone with NetGear tech support & 2 hours on phone with Blink tech support, the problem was the Blink Sync Monitor. Defective & once replaced, issue was resolved.
Many thanks - Happy Canada Day to the canucks July 1 & Fourth of July to USA residents.
Thanks for this - I now have all the devices named by location and located the Sync Manager. My devices table has many entries. To be truthful, there are two Iphones, two Ipads, 4 Fire Sticks, an ADT alarm system with one camera, 3 Smart Home Devices for lights. There was an option to remove offline devices. If deployed, will another device (say laptop) using WIFI that has been off for a week be added to list. Again many thanks.
If the devices that are offline are your devices then don't delete them. I have fixed IP addresses assigned to things like a laptop which I really only use when traveling, a Fire TV Stick 4K that I also only use when traveling, and a GPS that stays in my Jeep, oh and the Alpine stereo in the Jeep itself. I have them assigned fixed IP addresses so I know what they are and can name them for those times when I do bring them inside for an update prior to a trip, occasionally checking for an update for the GPS, and even updating the firmware/software in the Jeeps stereo sitting in the garage. Everything here has a fixed IP address and a name, even friends and relatives phones who visit often. So the only things that ever show up as "unknown device" is when I have some random person visit who doesn't visit often enough to merit assigning a fixed IP address for their phone, those I will occasionally delete. If I go to the Device Manager tab some evening and see something that says unknown device, and I don't have any visitors and no one has visited since I last deleted the unknown ones, then I know something unauthorized might be connecting.
