Orbi AC3000 and Amcrest wireless camera
I have a couple of Amcrest outdoor wireless cameras that didn't work well because of the wifi range of my Verizon router. I purchased ther Orbi system because I thought it would solve the dropout pro...
Maybe this is same answer as above but I have an IP3M-941 amcrest camera that I've been unable to connect to my new orbi router. I'm thinking that it's because the orbi is using the 5ghz band instead of the 2.4 ghz which is not compatible with this camera. I saw an article on Reddit that may have been a way to force it but was a little concerned with trying that. Any help would be appreciated.
If your new to the IP cam scene, you have to hard wire the camera into your router and use the Amcrest IP config software to see the IP of the camera, then you can log into that camera using IE and in the settings select the wireless network for that camera.
- Orbiwan - Thanks much for your help!!!! Pointing me back to the IPCONFIG software at least put me on the right track - not exactly sure the exact steps I took to get there but it's all up and working again!!!!!!!! Now I just need to remember how to setup the PCNVR stuff again but that shouldn't be that big of a trick. Probably need to go about learning how to fix the IP address again - imagine that will cause problems in the future. Thanks again!!
