Hello,

I'm trying to get my Lorex cams to flash to Dahua firmware. I've read through the various threads but what doesn't make sense to me is what setup I need to get the camera to connect to the opentftp. I have ddwrt router, windows 7 laptop and I also have Ubiquiti fiber with their switch as well. I have been trying to setup the network on the ddwrt so that it's isolated and not my main network.

From what I understand, the camera will be having IP of 192.168.1.108.
My router IP is set to 192.168.1.1
My windows 7 laptop is set to 192.168.254.254 with a subnet of 255.255.0.0 and Gateway of 192.168.1.1.

I have also added a static route through the GUI with the following:
Destination LAN 192.168.254.254
Subnet 255.255.0.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1.

I can run OpenTFTP and it just say listening on port 69. Console.bat doesn't show anything either when I connect my camera.

I'd really appreciate if someone can explain this step by step. Thank you!
