Looking for advice on how to set up the Orbi router for my IP camera system. I have the IP security cameras on their on own subnet connected to an NVR. I block all outgoing connections from the N...
You'll need to contact the Mfr of these cameras for additional help and information regarding there product. Ask them the ports that are needed.
Thanks FURRYe38,
With the Asus router, there is both source and destination ports. I use the destination port.
With the Orbi routers, in my case the RBX350, it only has 1 port option. I presume from your comment (and given what I have tried above doesnt work) that the Orbi only lets you block the source port and not the destination port?

The way I read the Help information (up arrow at bottom of the screen), the block is clearly the destination port.
I question the point of this effort in the first place. Is there a fear that the NVR will attempt to "do evil things?"
Are there similar blocks on the printer, TV, smart plugs, garage door opener, etc.?
Thanks CrimpOn,
I didn't see that. In that case, I'm not sure why the settings dont work.
You are correct that all devices can send data out. When reading other forums, the first thing they suggest is to block the security cameras/NVR. I guess the reason is that it may transmit video/images of your house, where as TV etc would only send data about what you watch.
I will have a play with the settings again.
