Tried to load 5.3.0 - no success... TFTP hanged after finishing transfer. I'v waited for 10mins and nothing happened, no "system update completed!" message. So now I recovered to 5.2.5 and will rather stick to it... Anyway, great thanks to all for help & suggestions! I'v opened a dispute on...

Yes, already did that many times in sequence - did not help. My next attempt is to try 5.3.0.

I have doubts about putting Chinese 5.3.0 in place of 5.2.5 as I'v read of many "bricking" cases afterwards. Anyway, do you have a trusted source of this firmware?

Physical proof is there. I'v opened the device and put it apart as much as I could without damage. I'v found the unfortunate RTL8189ES WiFi module and the antenna intact. Well, now this means that this is about hardware malfunction - bad news for me, as I'm shortsighted ;). Could that be the...

Thanks for hint! I did it for both cameras and saved them to network drive. Please have a look at them. No WiFi - https://mega.nz/#!LgY1gDwQ!0MI-jUtOmrYQerpoLnbwdbFSn-TSjNmp5BOQXWWje-4 WiFi OK - https://mega.nz/#!LlAz0ara!xWoC3yJ9BRjYPD9lXnwFiYfC82e8eEmbAaIUiPRWfIA The faulty one has no trace...

Yes, all the rest is completely identical with the working cam. I compared all printed (on the box) descriptions and those returned by the soft via webservices. Just did TFTP reflash and nothing has changed :( at lest it's still working over ethernet, ufff..... ;) Thanks for help anyway :)...

You mean the TFTP method? I will give it a try then. I just discovered that user epcjay has same problem (http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/4789-AliExpress-Who-are-people-using/page16). He claims that "Factory Default" applied twice has helped him finally - weird...

Man, I just have the same problem with 2132F-IWS !. This is driving me crazy as WiFi is a must for me... What was your seller? I'v started a thread on that: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/5883-Fake-DS-2CD2132F-IWS

yes. it's marked as IWS on the camera itself & the box too.

Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum and am sad to ask for help in my first post here :(. I just bought a China version 5.2.5 DS-2CD2132F-IWS on Aliexpress. Second one from the same seller. First one works as a breeze but the new one has faulty WiFi. It simply does not see any AP. I'v already...
