So the wifi thread reminded me of an issue I'm having . After my electronics theft I had a DVR and cameras installed . I already have the rogue wifi setup . Problem is I cant setup the DVR to transmit . It looks
Iike the rogue masks the local hotspots IP. Anyone familiar with streaming over optonline hotspots with the rogue ?

The problem you may have is not having a static IP, which is not available on a hotspot. Most DVRs today have a work around for not having a "static IP" you need to set yours up that way.
 
"the rogue masks the local hotspots IP."

If you can explain what that means, I maybe able to help.
 
Firewall issue perhaps? Close port issue at the AP?
 
The rougue fetches an ip address much like ur router. I need that ip address to stream video. I understand I need a static ip to view when im away. I dont mind changing the ip address every week. But i need to find out the Rogues IP.

I think thats the issue. But again im no IT guy... was hoping someone has sucessfully done this....

I believe the rogue IP is available in the settings page but it will change everytimecyiu connect to an AP. not sure if the AP may change it if it resets

I m sure Bill will chime in!
 
There are a number of ways to identify the IP of your AP and the devices connected to it. Many times it'll show as the gateway IP address. But if the hotspot's firewall isn't configured to allow your DVR to broadcast/stream video, then that's an issue. There may also be an issue with the firewall on the Rogue as I do not think it can be configured to open custom ports. If you have the Rogue's firewall on, try turning it off temporarily to rule that out.

I'm surprised the DVR doesn't have some sort of Dynamic DNS service to help configure the network and maintain outside connectivity.
 
Kurt, having a problem with DNS also . Again I think it's all related . One of my friends is a geek . I'm waiting for him to come down.
 
You need a dynamic DNS service to allow the DVR to NAT thru the router.

Google DDNS for any number of providers.
The Panasonic cameras I run are all supported by the Panasonic DDNS servers so I can always poke into the feed no matter what IP's the cable co dishes out to my modem/router.

Like I said, Dynamic DNS. John's using Panasonic's "viewnetcam.com" service. You need to use similar, Rob. However, you need permissions to configure NAT/Firewall ports on the marina's router.
 
Rob, you could try calling the ROGUE factory support line if Florida, Richard is a big help. I think you have a combination of problems.
I have always said streaming video will eventually degrade wireless internet from it's primary uses (e-mail and web surfing).
