I have a Blue Iris camera server on a computer in my network. It is directly accessible via http://192.168.1.45:9000. It is accessible over the web via an Asus DDNS address: http://notdisclosed.asuscomm.com:9000 (this returns my WAN address of course)
I recently switched my main router from an AC-68p to an AC-88U. Note that I have slow Internet with 6M down and 768K up. I have my cameras set for 10 frames/second rate.
Over my local network with either router accessing the direct (192.168.1.45:9000) address I get the full 10 fps image.
If I am remote and truly over the Internet using the DDNS I get about 5 fps max.
With the AC-68P over my local network using the DDNS address I still get the full 10 fps. Using the AC-88U router I only get 5 fps just as if I was remote.
It appears to me that the AC-68P is smart enough to route my browsing computer directly to my camera computer even though I am using the DDNS (WAN) address. The AC-88U on the other hand appears to be routing over the Internet and gets the speed limited to my Internet upload speed.
----------------
Now this isn't a major thing but it is a curiosity to me. How is it that the AC-66P knows to route directly and not use the WAN while the AC-88U apparently doesn't? Is there a setting I am missing on the new router?
