Using An Orbi RBK 852 With Hikvision CCTV
I have eight CCTV cameras sited around my house, these are hard wired to an NVR located in my loft which is linked via HDMI to a monitor in my study and an eternet lead runs from the NVR to the study...
what firmware is on the router?
And on the satellites?
What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
Reason I ask, is some routers play nicer with double nats than others. It could be a nat issue.
Thanks for your prompt response.
The firmware is V4.6.3.16 on the router (the latest version) and I assume it is the same on the router (although I dont know how to confirm this)
The Orbi is connected to a Virgin Media box in modem mode.
I have no idea what nats are!
there is a newer version you can try if you'd like.
New - RBR850 / RBS850 Firmware Version v4.6.7.5 Re... - NETGEAR Communities
You can also try setting the virgin hub to router mode (disable its wifi) and setup the netgear's IP address into the virgins DMZ.
yes I have already put my Virgin router in modem mode.
I will try the more recent software update- is it likely to help?
