Router Set-Up and Installation

Access Your Router on Your Web Browser

If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on the next page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.
