Troubleshooting remote viewing setup

C. Browse the secondary router’s setup screens. You are looking for either “Internet Status” or “WAN Status” or any page that displays:

Public IP address

Gateway address

D. The public IP address and gateway address will look similar to your router’s IP address.

For example, if your secondary router’s IP address is 192.168.100.1, its public IP address might look like 192.168.1.2 and its gateway might be 192.168.1.1.

The first two segments of the numbers will probably be the same, and the second two segments will probably be different.

Important: Your secondary router’s gateway is your primary router’s IP address.

4.Now, open a Web browser window, and enter your secondary router’s gateway number into the address field. For example: http://192.168.1.1 You will see another router setup screen.

5.If the Setup Wizard successfully set up your secondary router, it assigned a port number (the default is 5001). You may have also assigned ports on your own. Open the same ports you opened on your secondary router, with one change...

6.Instead of opening these ports to the IP address for your Slingbox, open these ports to your secondary router’s public IP address.
