    Network security questions

    Just in case I'm still having issues with intrusions after adding the router (I don't know this guy's level of skill on hacking), can I access the NVR via direct connection between computer and NVR? I know I can access the device GUIs in this manner via the NVR GUI, but I'm curious if it's...

    I presume UPnP should be disabled on the WAN side of the router?

    Is this PTZ camera the same as the PTZ5A4M-25X?

    Suspected Mail Thieves at 2 AM

    Have to ask, what cameras were featured in the clip? I imagine the sound on the PTZ was an external mic or dubbed from another camera?

    There's no point to doing so, it would be a wasted effort. Plus, his "creation" is still standing. I have a camera there in its original location for overview, but it needs to be aligned since I replaced it with a T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm. It probably needs a junction box and moved further towards...

    Like I said in the first sentence, I removed the camera as it wasn't what I was looking for FOV. If his creation was working, my LPR west camera probably would have picked it up since it looks in that general direction. With all those IR LEDs, even at 1000/sec, I would have seen something

    Thanks. Downloaded and scanned the LAN. Seems all devices listed are accounted for.

    Network security questions

    Out of curiosity, I checked to see what wi-fi networks are available near my little corner. Most of them look unassuming and are showing as low power broadcast, but the one that has me concerned is the "Hidden Network" due to its signal strength. The neighbor next to me (JAE entries) barely puts...

    Network security questions

    So, then it's best to follow the included instructions and connect to the modem for setup? I just can't shake the feeling that somehow the nut across the way is actively keeping track of all changes being made to the network in real time. Maybe I'm paranoid, but so far, he's been able to get in...

    Network security questions

    Moving on. I received the ASUS this morning. I would like to setup the router ahead of actually installing it so that it isn't vulnerable during the process. I imagine I can connect a cable from the laptop directly to one of the LAN ports of the router and perform the setup without connecting...

    Network security questions

    I removed the camera from the cul-de-sac to see what the outcome would be (I was going to remove it anyway since this turret doesn't zoom in enough). He finally left his domicile after a week of being home 24/7. Any event, it gave me the chance to use the PTZ (albeit from the NVR interface) to...

    Network security questions

    Ok, what am I missing here? All the approved modems for DSL are combo modem/routers. The BGW210-700 is the same unit I have here already. I spent the last hour viewing ATT compatible modems and every one was a Wi-Fi gateway modem/router combo

    Network security questions

    Here's the other thing, how would I know which modem would work for ATT where I live? And don't say call them, because every time I had to call them; I end up talking to someone in a third world country who can only recite answers from a card - absolutely no help

    Network security questions

    They don't offer a modem only here and finding one that may or may not work is just too much to do atm. Like I said, when I am overwhelmed, I tend to walk away from it and procrastinate finishing the process. Life is too short to get aggravated spending all my time with networks and cameras. Not...

    Network security questions

    Well, it's definitely the nut across the street. Now that none of the NVRs are connected to the LAN and he has no access, he decided to reciprocate and install a camera on a 4x4 treated post that he dug a hole for right in front of his front door. It is wireless with 2 solar panels mounted...

    Network security questions

    Probably renting. Acquiring, installing and configuring a modem along with router right now is just going to complicate the process right now. Not to mention if there is an issue with service beyond the service entrance, I'm on my own for support. And ATT will more than likely blame it on my...

    Appreciate the heads up, but bad timing for me. I need to work out my network issue first. Don't want to add anymore equipment and have the nut across the street change settings on me or worse. Got to close the door on him first

    Network security questions

    I did read the hotspot comment, but with broadband and Wi-Fi disabled, I would imagine no hotspot. I already asked ATT about the modem only - no dice, they don't or won't offer just the modem, I must enable pass-through mode. Less inventory to handle So, I order the ASUS RT1800 again, yes?

    Network security questions

    I really couldn't tell you. I do know that while the router was physically connected to the DSL line, Broadband and Wi-Fi were disabled on the Arris device and Wi-Fi was disabled on the laptop I use. I do know that a trace on all of those IP addresses comes back to ATT as the owner...

    I don't see how. Wi-Fi was disabled both on the Arris device and on the laptop I use. I was (and am) using the ethernet connection on my laptop currently On Advanced IP Scanner which I downloaded here: Advanced IP Scanner - Download Free Network Scanner It is very useful for finding device IP...

    Network security questions

    I bought the ASUS RTX 1800 router for VPN, but it was un-needed for remote viewing with the P2P, so I sent it back. I guess I need to get another one and enable pass-through on the Arris modem? Can you exclude a range of IP addresses on the Asus?
