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.

For your Sync Modules just find them and enter their MAC address like adding anything. For Cameras if you want to give them unique names, you have to go to the Device Manager screen and they will all show offline, but if you then go on your phone and hit PLAY on one of them to watch a "Live View", you will notice that one camera will move to the Online side (and only as long as your watching the live view) and that is your opportunity to click on it, give it a unique name, and copy the MAC address and go back to the Settings > LAN and add it to the fixed IP address table. What I do is in the Device Manager view I just click on the MAC address, pull it over to highlight it, select copy, then go to the Settings / LAN Setup and choose ADD and paste the MAC address. If your adding brand new cameras the MAC address is actually printed in the back of the camera and you can just take a pic with your phone or enter it as your setting up the camera but in my case the cameras are all already mounted and it was the XR1000 router that was new so I had to do it that way. Took me maybe 15 minutes to do 27 cameras. And when your done be sure to go to advanced settings > administration > Backup Settings and save yourself a copy of your routers settings.
