WNDR3400/n600 v1 see ip camera on device list, cannot access
OK. I purchased an Ebay ip camera (360° Panoramic WiFi IP Camera E27 Light Bulb 1080P HD Wireless Security Camera | eBay). Cannot seem to connect to it. I've tried the ip address i see in the router ...
The velop. All is working ok now. I got the camera added and installed. Just kept resetting the camera and trying. All so confusing.
decided to upgrade router first with asus ac5300. As for camera, it was not resetting when powered on so could not add device. It's at least doing that and is recognised randomly. Good point is it's a camera problem though. I'll keep at it until ...
While I was checking out the new router, I gave this problem a new look. Turns out I've got a linksys Velop WHW03 router in front of the netgear. Now I have to figure a way to get a passthrough to connect to the netgear. I could connect to the velop but I want to view the camera on my desktop too. Back to the books. Evidently Phone guy came in and added this because our TV was having problems connecting to internet. I'm getting older and some things get lost in the cracks.

The usual options when dealing with this "double NAT" situation is either to out the first router, the Velop WHW03 into bridge (modem only) mode, or the second router, the Netgear, into wireless access point (AP) mode. The manual tells you how to do that.
Talk of "passthrough" mode, whatever you mean by that, is probably a red herring.
I could connect to the velop but I want to view the camera on my desktop too.Follow the strategy above and you will have just one router managing the traffic on your network. Then everything on your network should appear on whatever you use to access it.

That's good.
Cameras cause more problems than most of these Internet of Things (IoT) toys. Mostly this seems to be because the people who make them are no good at writing software for connecting their cameras. Then people turn round and blame their network devices for no good reason.
Then again, the WNDR3400 is an ageing range of routers that dates back to 2010, before the flood of IoT things.
