ORBI and Amcrest/Foscam

[stevelk9999]

I recently had verizon switch my older coax for ethernet so I could switch to ORBI.    The ORBI system worked great and I get excellent coverage.ut f

The only strange occurrence is with AMCREST/FOSCAM.  I have about 4 of them.   I have used them all for multiple years and know how to port forward and use them with Blue iris.  SO I  did a factory default on all 4.  But for some reason I am not able to log into 3 of three of them and none even seem happy to connect to wifi.  I tried using the verizon as a secondary router and connect to it and still have an issue.

I know there has been some discussion on this about 2.4GHZ connectivity but find this pretty strange   I can see one camera

The FI9803 outdoor cam is an issue'

The Foscam C1 will connect but will not allow me to log in wirelessly

And IP3M-941B will let me log in and I can see it remotely but not with blue iris

I hae an identical IP3M-941B at another location and have no issues with viewing it ( same settings) and I double checked the password

In short, can any one either help or recommend both an IP Cam for indoor and outdoor use that works well with orbi?  many thanks

If you put the older wifi back online and they still have problems conneting it it, I presume there maybe problems with the cameras.

Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Try changing the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.

Thank you.   The Foscam's are all working but I stil have problems with the Amcrest for some reason.   I set up port forwarding on the router. I can easily see the port is open on canyouseeme.org.   But when I try to view them on blue iris.. nada.   I know how to use blue iris and have not experienced this before.   I ditched the verizon router.  Other than that one quirk,  the Orbi system works perfectly.  I will ditch the old amcres cameras and pick up a few Foscams.  I am not using many cameras.

thanks

i have found this software very useful in setting up the AMcrest cams on the Orbi 3000

https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/     All of the cams work fine now .  thanks to all.
