Cameras and browser

This is what happens

Strange...but that explains why a browser on that same PC cannot open a camera's embedded webGUI.

Is this how the "repeater" router is configured? As I suggested in Dec. 2023?

Range extender question

I have a Linksys WRT54G router with DDWRT firmware in it using it a a repeater off my main router,and I would like to know if it is possible to connect a range extender to it because it is a repeater itself and not a main router. I need to get better reception from one of my IP cameras is the...

No I have upgraded the router to a Netgear XR300 Gaming Router but it is still used as a repeater off the main router. Much better reception, all cameras work fine off of it. Look my original question was only because I was curious why I couldn't see the cameras in my browser. It's not that big of a deal to me, everything else works fine. I'm sorry I bothered you people with this question and the trouble. Thank you anyway for trying to help.

As I was dozing off last night, the answer came to me...should have thought of it sooner but I didn't...I was focused more on network or configuration issues because that's usually the reason. Here's the reason:

None of those cameras have an embedded webGUI...not the Tapo, not the Zosi, the v380 or the Tme Zon (?) That's why you can't view in a browser. It's unusual to have only the FOUR cams and none have an webGUI but there ya go.

You didn't waste my time any more than I wasted yours.

Thank you for all of your help, that does explain the reason why. Thanks again!

One thing you can't do on some cameras is run concurrent connections from the same computer, because its already logged in at a different service port. There are some that only allow one login on a service port or you have to configure multiple users for that function to work. Its just something I witnessed on LTS wireless doorbells .So it might be something going on with these or like someone said earlier, it might not have a web gui.
