How do I configure Netgear router for Webcam 1-2-3/Watchdog/NetCamCenter?

Please make sure that the router supports virtual server or port forwarding first.

For more information, please visit http://www.netgear.com



You must have a static IP address assigned to this computer. To check the settings, right-click My Network Place on the Desktop and then select Properties. The IP address of the default gateway should be the Internal IP address of your router.



1. Start your browser and type the Router's IP address in your browser's address bar (http://192.168.xxx.xxx). (By default the router's address is 192.168.0.1).

2. Enter your username and password for the router and then click the Advanced tab.

3. Click Port Forwarding on the left menu bar.

4. Select HTTP from the Service & Game (or Service Name) pull down. Enter the IP address of your web server in the Server IP Address box. To use port other than 80, you may need to add a service first.

To define a service not in the Service Name list, determine what port numbers are used by the service.
  • Click Add Custom Service.
  • Enter the first port number in an unused Start Port box.
  • Enter the same number in End Port.
  • Enter any name you choose for the service.
  • Click Apply.


5. If you wish to enable viewing by Windows Media Streaming, you need to create another port. The default port is 81. Repeat step 4 to create a port for Windows Media Streaming.

Note:

1. Testing port forwarding inside the router may fail depending on the router model. You may want to test it from the Internet. Or use the port check tool.

2. Port 80 may be block by some ISP or may not work with some router. If you've configured the router properly, try port 8888. You need to change the web server port of Webcam 1-2-3/Watchdog as well. You may want to check your router's manual for detail information regarding the port you can use.

3. You must have a static IP address assigned to this computer.

4. You may need to reboot the router to take effect.
