XR500 gaming router
I am trying to have the router assign a static address for the security DVR as everytime the power is interrupted or the router is rebooted, the router address changes. This m,eans I have to go into...
I will try what you have suggested and be back to let you know.
Thanks
Now when I specify the DVR address, it says devices will be disconnected while router gets a new IP address. Whats up with that? Or what does that mean?
- It just means when it applies the reserved IP to the device other devices may lose connection briefly but the connection will be restored quite quickly. This is normal.
Thank you, that is what I was figuring. I have grown tired of every time there is a glitch in service or the router is rebooted, I have to reconfigure the address in the ipad and iphone so I can access my cameras.
Ok I went to section for reserving the address for the DVR hit add and the router proceeded to aquire the new address and in the process knocked everyone off line switched the nework to public so the firewall did it's bit and blocked all but my PC. So I removed the reserved address , put everything back like it was and now it is working like it was. I will need to do more investigating on this, apparently something was missed or changed. The only change I did was reserve the address for the device, nothijng else was changed. I don't want a house full of women on me because they lost their internet connection, too dangerous, LOL. Just kidding about the women. I'm sure soemthing was missed.
