This caught my eye and I thought I'd offer my two cents. Personally, if the choice is spending 300 and install proprietary software... that may disappoint me, OR repurposing an older pc that takes up space to do the exact same thing... it boils down to worst case scenario - The pc route falls...

I don't care if I get banned, I am calling out the OP. Your insolence is so out of line and it is being tolerated by well meaning folks trying to look past it. And you don't even know. You are oblivious to the notion that this entire thread has nothing to do with solving a hack. You are rude and...

Do you plan to restore any of your data from the old computer onto the new one? If your router is compromised, how will a new router avoid the same fate? How do you connect to the internet? Are you on a LAN? Do you have a VPN and robust firewall? You don't even know what problem you have - you...

Love it. First question in my mind is always "How do you know?" often followed by "why do you think that solution will solve the problem?" Been a driveway mechanic for 40 years and can't abide by throwing parts at a problem. If you're not sure what you're after, how will you recognize it...

So, there is something on that machine that attempts router exploits. After not getting AI Protection blocs since October of 2021, they started again in Jan & Feb 2022 even though Internet access was disabled for the client IP at the router. This pisses me off, so I would like to solicit the...

I decided to bite the bullet, climb a 10 foot ladder and connect the camera to the AP via RJ45/Ethernet - weather proofing and the whole nine yards. This is the most reliable connection and was my goal from the start. Topography/Backbone-wise, AC3200 <--> 8-port switch <--> EA4500 AP all Cat 5...

No doubt, and I apologize for not acknowledging your post. I hope you'll forgive me for that - so far it's only been Colin and me in the thread and I'm at the precipice of changing everything on my router. After 30 posts, and a week of good will, I didn't want to frustrate anyone further with my...

Roger that. Stay tuned.

Ahhhh... just change the pool, everything stays the same as it is until I change client ip addresses at my leisure. Just to be clear... there won't be a clash between the new IP/MAC and the reserved IP/MAC after changing it? That is to say, does order of operation matter here?

Yeah, I intentionally risked a tongue lashing with that one when I omitted the phrase "I know you said..." - so I'm sorry, and appreciate your patience and diligence. Got it - Client List and DHCP don't work together. I'm going to reconfigure the DHCP pool to start at .100 - So I'll have from...

It was rhetorical - thanks for making me chuckle. A thought occurred to me.... If I configure network clients to have static IP addresses at the client, why do I need to set it at the router? Wouldn't DHCP automatically know? Look at this client table AFTER I manually assigned IP around the...

Oh hey, great idea. Only one thing.... why? Ya know? Today I will be starting the IP pool at 20 and re-adding that access point so that I can now see if I get better signal from the camera. Dude... I really appreciate you. Thanks.

As is likely abundantly clear, I'm not a "network guy" - Ever since my first LAN in Windows 3.x, it's been the literal definition of "ad hoc". Plug stuff in, guess and check - learn on the fly. Kind of a "if it ain't broke" mentality, although fully aware that it's ad hoc. I exaggerated by...

I got everything back to the way it was before the issue of two IP addresses assigned to the same MAC as seen from the router client list. I used different software to access the camera (.160) and saved the necessary changes using *that* software. I brought down Jurassic Park --> all systems go...

Naw, you're right. I don't have Zen with networking (obviously) and if that is your "best practices" recommendation, I'll do that. Eliminate the variables as it were... Stay tuned...
