Hi, thanks for your reply. I have a soliom S60 camera. My phone is connected to 2.4ghz. Router firmware is up to date. No special characters or spaces in password. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the older app and the newer app a number of times. The older app will only connect if my phone is set to 5ghz. The instructions say not to use 5G. I have tried the new app with both 2.4 and 5G. Nothing seems to work. Times out every time. I guess it is just a problem with the apps. I was on the soliom site and had a live chat who then called me and said the problem is the "NOT Secure" router setting. When he told me it would cost a few hundred and he could fix it, I told him No Thanks. Guess I will get another camera and make life a little easier. I appreciate your help.

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
a couple things.
1. when you're doing the setup, make sure to disable your vpn.
2. the log notices aren't an issue. Netgear is notorious for false positives in the logs. You can search the forums if you'd like
Thank you for all of your advice Guru. I have tried everything and unfortunately nothing seems to work. I will be looking for a new camera. Thanks again. Have a great week.
