Nighthawk RAX 80 with cctv
Hi All, I have just set up my Nighthawk but none of my cctv works. I also can’t set up port forwarding as the cameras ip’s are 168 .0.xxx , it only gives option to set up 168 .1.xxx. Any suggestions...

All the newer Netgear routers (leaving the cable modem/routers alone) default to the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
If the cameras are on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, it appears your previous router used that other subnet, and somebody has put up static IP addresses to the cameras, instead of using DHCP plus reservations.
Either change all camera IP configurations, easier is it to change the RAX80 LAN IP subnet to 192.168.0.0/24 - then cold reboot everything on the nwtwork.
