Getting comfortable
I believe you need that Default Gateway 192.168.1.254 needs to be in that IPv4 settings box also.
Since the Default Gateway (modem) is showing IPv6, I decided to log into the modem. It appears that the Device IPv4 Address .254 is outside the DHCPv4’s range of .253. Could this cause the modem to switch to an IPv6 address? Should I change the Device IPv4 Address to .222?

Actually, 192.168.1.254 is very common and has been for a long time for the gateway/LAN IP on AT&T DSL, uVerse and even Fixed Wireless, all on the AT&T (Pace) 5268 (suffixes of several versions) modem/router. At least that has been the case here in the SE area of the U.S.In a short answer no. Your router is set to serve IP addresses from the .64 to .253 range, your router is set to .254 which is unusual but fine as it’s outside of the range of addresses that the router will server via DHCP.

I did think it unusual to have 149 IP's in the DHCP pool though, generally they run .1 to .99 or .49 to .199 at most. I advised the OP to limit the pool to .199 and use .200 to .253 for his static IP's.
That's true and I understand.I meant unusual for a home router as most all seem to use .1
The managed switches in my house are all configured with these higher addresses, so 251, 252, 253 and 254 for management.
Good news, I guess. So it's working with BI, right?Ok. I’m back in and there’s a video feed.
What are these values now?
- Default Gateway _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ (router's LAN )
- Computer _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _
- Camera _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _
My sentiments too.
Yes.
Correct.I guess the camera isn’t going to show up in ipconfig.
Correct.
It all looks good, the only difference I see and my suggestion is where I said "....let .200 to .253 be for YOUR use when assigning static IP's" and you have the cam at .199.
As long as that cam's .199 is OUTSIDE of the router's DHCP pool and it's set to static in the cam then all is well!
00 to 53?I’ll go back in and set the range from 00 to 53.
00 to 53?
But I'd set the DHCP pool to stop at .199, leaving .200 to .253 for YOUR use as static IP's (as stated in my posts #24 & 37).
