how to Port forward for IP camera with a WN3000RP?
I have a wireless IP camera from x10 that can't be moved closer to the existing wireless router and needs a range extender to stay on the network due to erratic signal from the SMC router provided by ...
the extender connects to pc, but pc can't get to internet. The extender has limited connectivity.
I went back and did another search on trouble shooting connectivity issues and found a post about WEP encrypted routers with the passphrase being not the passphrase in some routers, and to use the password in the Key 1 slot instead of the passphrase slot.
I had previously set the password to the passphrase, clicked "generate", the wizard generated a set of Keys for it, but they weren't working. So when I set the password as key 1 and did not click "generate", so the extender used the password in Key 1 and it worked.
I reset the extender, used the password in Key 1 instead of passphrase, and it worked. Something so simple. The documents for the extender do not explain that.
thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
