LAN access from remote R7000
Can someone explain what is happening? I am using a Netgear router R7000 Nighthawk router: [LAN access from remote] from 52.197.117.189:59461 to IP for DLINK 2630, Saturday, Nov 19,2016 04:26:46...
Thanks to both of you. I disabled UpNP and the cams (DLINK) still work. However, it seems I don't get any 1 minute limit. The clock shows serveral minutes have passed now and I get no message it has stopped. There is no motion in the background but I dont think its an issue as the clock is still ticking....
Looks like by default this router enabled UpNP and DLINK's software set up each cam for the user without any warning of the implications.
BTW do you know why an Android device would show as an attempted outside connection? Is this due to an intruder just scanning for things?
Will check the logs later and report again to see if any outside connections.
I should add that if you and your camera are on the same LAN, the mydlink app will recognize this and use the local option, even if you select remote. So there will not be any time limit.
To test this, you should try to access the camera from another network.
Thats a good point. As you know the router is dual band. I have my devices on one band and mydlink app on a different band to to try to emulate remote access. I guess it doesnt matter. Will try this out soon from an oustide router and report back. I checked the log and have not seen any intrusions!! Very happy.
