STEP 6. If there is only one router detected, and you are using UPnP, then you will need to turn off that setting and attempt to connect using DMZ as described in Section 1.2 Opening Ports.
If you are using DMZ, check to make sure that the UPnP option is turned off.
If Multiple Routers are Detected
If there are multiple routers, you will see a display similar to Picture
If so, it may be preferable to connect your DVR and computer to the router that connects directly to the Internet. However, this is not always possible depending upon your particular situation.

In this case, you will need to proceed with the next section and set up DMZ in the second router to allow communications to pass through it from the first. If only one router is detected you will need to consult your router’s manual.
SETTING UP DMZ IN ROUTER 2
STEP 1. Login into Router 1 by putting the IP of Router 1 into the Internet Explorer browser, as in the example shown in Picture
STEP 2. Find the status page on the router settings that shows the WAN/ Internet IP address and write it down this WAN IP address.
STEP 3. Log into the Router 2 by putting
the IP of Router 2 into the Internet Explorer browser, as in example shown in Picture
STEP 4. Find the DMZ page in the
router settings. |

STEP 5. Enter the WAN IP for Router 1 | PICTURE |
into the DMZ page and enable DMZ. |

NOTE! If you do not have a DMZ setting in the router, check to see if there is a Bridge setting. If so, then use the Bridge setting instead of DMZ.
STEP 6. Save your changes.
You have forwarded the ports on the router to which the DVR is connected, to the IP address of the DVR, and set the primary router to pass the connection to this router.
