Netgear WN3000RP blocks port forwarding
External (Internet) access to a WiFi IPCamera using port forwarding through Cisco router works fine
Changing the WiFI IPcamera's SSID choice to the extended network of the WN3000RP works fine from devices on the Cisco router's network BUT external (Internet) access fails.
The IPcamera has a fixed IP.
The Cisco router has reserved that IP.
Only difference is the IP camera's choice of SSID.
Switching the IPCamer's choice of SSID from the extender back to the router restores external(Internet) access.
Conclusion: The WN3000RP/IPcamera is not working properly with the router's portforwarding.
IS ther something in the WN3000RP that needs to be changed?Set?

Looks like the problem is solved. Updated software from xxx.32 to xxx.64. Works correctly now.
