I have a FIOS MI424WR router and would like to set up my security cameras to be viewed over the internet.
How do I setup Port forwarding with this router so that I can view them with internet explorer?
#1 In the router go to Advanced -> Universal Plug and Play OR to Advanced -> UPnP (which ever exist in your router)
#2 If you do not have at least two special computers that support UPnP where you can not define the ports that they use, turn off Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).
A perfect example. At least two game consoles. Any two (Two Xboxes, two Playstations, One Xbox and one Playstation).
#3 In the router go to Advanced -> IP Address Distribution OR to Advanced -> Private LAN (which ever exist in your router)
#4 What is the Starting and Ending IP Address?
sorry for the long delay...The IP starting & ending address is 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254
That is what I thought it would be. 😞
#1 Change the Starting IP Address so that it is 192.168.1.100
#2 On the computer that you want to host on, setup a Static IP.
a) http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm
b) The Static IP on that computer must be above 192.168.1.1 but below 192.168.1.99
#3 In the router forward to the IP Address that you setup.
