Title: Ip cam and router
Post by: bradbutner on July 24, 2012, 10:05:10 AM: Im running a Mac with a USB cam running on icam as well as an iPod touch cam and an iPhone 4 cam running on ipcam. I also have an xp running with 2 USB cams through icam. Since installing ipcam I'm having to restart my router almost daily. Could it be related or just coincidence? Before I dig too deep, I just wanted to pose the question. Thanks.

Have you tried running just ipCam? Do you see this behavior with one ipCam running, or is it only when two are running?

We haven't heard any reports of similar behavior from other users, so we are not sure what may be causing it.

SUNSHINE is used with WPA2-PSK. Linked to that is SOLAR with no security but using mac filtering, no firewall.

Since your local network has two routers, you'll need to put one into "Bridge mode" so that there's only one router on your network.

For further instructions please see the section called "Connect To Another Router" on page 73 of your User's Manual here: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dlink.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Fbusiness-solutions%2Fsupport%2Fproduct%2F-%2Fmedia%2FConsumer_Products%2FDIR%2FDIR%2520615%2Fmanual%2FDIR_615_Manual_RevA_v1_US.ashx&ei=QIlKUMGPF-WM2gXl04HQCQ&usg=AFQjCNGHIf7oCFOq171L9L5DyvtsgAj2NA (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dlink.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Fbusiness-solutions%2Fsupport%2Fproduct%2F-%2Fmedia%2FConsumer_Products%2FDIR%2FDIR%2520615%2Fmanual%2FDIR_615_Manual_RevA_v1_US.ashx&ei=QIlKUMGPF-WM2gXl04HQCQ&usg=AFQjCNGHIf7oCFOq171L9L5DyvtsgAj2NA)
