ok i think i got it. turns out with the r6300 router i had to do a refresh on the ip address. this unit gave all my ewuipment new ip address. the c7000 did not do that, go figure. so now i'm resetting all my cameras and redoing the porting what a job this is becoming. but now they tell me i will have one more step for security as well. i don't know about that but if i do then great. after i goet this all done i will return with a update. never knwo someone else may have this issue. thanks
ok i got them all going so to recap. i had to turn everything off and first connect the modem to the cable and the router to the modem via the yellow port using a yellow cat cable then the router to the pc then i turned the router the modem and the pc back on. i had to let them all finish booting and then i saw the router on the pc. then to make sure i had wifi i unplugged the pc form the router. it worked. and i had speed on both the wired and wifi connections. i also have to turn off the c3700 combo units router mode. i was told to turn off the ssid but after turning off the router mode i could not get back to do that.
then i connected the network switch to the pc and i got speed a bit slower but faster that with the modem and router combo that was only 40 mbps wired thro the switch
then i had to reset all my cameras and also clicked get the ip address form the router switch on the dvr and nvr to allow them both to get the ip address from the router dynamically. after i got that i then unchecked the box for static ip. then i went into the r6300 settings and i then saw my cameras with new ip addresses. great. then i had to them all one at a time, did the porting and in the camera program reset the ip and ports for them and saved all that to the cameras. then in the app for viewing the cameras on the tablet and phone i had to reset the ip, ports and user name and passwords.
wow lots of work but now with my pc on the r6300 router and thru the network switch i have 90 mbps speed. going thru the c3700 combo i got like 40 mbps. now that speed did not mean a lot for the internet places i use, but the tablet was sluggish for the wifi now it is a bit faster and i will have to wait for now to see if it really helped. but i have been told just adding the router will give me better security? i have no clue but we will see. now maybe i can change the router name as with the c3700 i could not do that. thanks for all the help on this and time is going to tell if it works. next power outage we have and if it all comes back online by itself then i will say all is good and i don't lose the speed. again thanks.
Good to hear.
I would do a backup configuration to file on the R router. Just in case you have a problem and a reset is needed, just load this back on the router and you'll be back online with in minutes.
