Hi,
D-Link DIR-615 is a Wireless N 300 Router, which delivers great performance, network security and coverage, etc. I have deployed a similar D-Link Router for about 10 Wired and wireless client PCs in a network for file, print and internet sharing and it performed without any issues. So, I think, you can add additional IP cameras and it should work fine.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

    Thanks. Now as the router has to handle twice the data, there would be a little compromise. You may add another router for improved performance (if required in future for expansion etc)

I dont think their is a limitation of it, the only problem that you might be encounter is the bandwidth of your internet, co'z each camera which uses internet is also using bandwidth signal to distribute the frames that will create an images, so if your camera are connected to the internet then their might possible scenario that will slow your internet especially if the recordings of an image is realtime. Just a thought only hope it helps thanks.

    I agree!, that there is no such limitation of the number of clients per router. However, the total bandwidth is divided among the clients. Thus, more clients means less bandwidth/ data rate for each client. In case of cameras all clients are utilization bandwidth/ router resources simultaneously, which is resulting in a somewhat compromised performance (as stated by Matt). I'm glad for Charlie's interest in the matter. Hope it all better assists the Fixya users. Thanks

Hi, I have security cameras at home I just want to know how to apply for rooter so that I can view them even if iam away.

You already have an internet connection. More than likely you have a modem with a built in 4 port router. Plug a Network cable into the back of the router and also into the Security Camera DVR. Go to the settings in the Security DVR and choose network. Log into the modem/router and set up a port forward to the ip address you found in the security DVR network section. Download the Security Camera App from your telephone hardware provider. Load your remote ip addess (found by searching from your computer attached to your network at home using whatismyip4.host) port, user name and password into the app and you should be online to your cameras on your phone.

Add netgear73 router PPPoE to add network name and wireless key?

Assuming you already have a modem/router on your network and you are simply trying to add a wireless network, you will need to
set up the Netgear router to act as a wireless access point. To do this you need to connect a computer directly to one of the Ethernet (not WAN) ports on the back of the router. Access the router using its IP address (usually 192.168.1.1). Login using the userid and password of the router. First you need turn off the DHCP function of the router. This will make it a slave to the existing router. YOu will also need to change the router IP address to a static value. It is recommended you use a high number to avoid IP conflicts such as 192.168.1.210. You can then go to the wireless setup and set your network name (SSID) and password. Once you have done all that you can save and log out of the router. Disconnect the PC from the router and connect the Netgear router to the existing router using Ethernet cable. Use one of the regular ports on the existing router, and run the cable to one of the ports (not the WAN) of the Netgear router. You may have to reboot both routers to get initial communications established. Once you have them talking, the existing router should receive wireless requests from the Netgear router and assign IP addresses to the devices attaching to the Network.

How to configure huawei hg533 router for home network

William the more information you can provide the more accurate can be our brain trust community's answer.
What I have to guess is you added the cameras to an existing network.
What you need to provide is how are the camera's getting their IP addresses ?
How are the PC getting their IP addresses.
My guess
Go into the router settings and look for DCHP server. Look at the leases issued and change the IP addresses that are assigned to the cameras to Static rather than Dynamic. if the cameras are getting IP address from DHCP. server rather than being set up manually..

If you manually set up the IP addresses on the cameras then alter the available ip range on the DHCP server to avoid the IP addresses assigned to the cameras. As an example say the DCHP range was 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 then alter it to be 192.168.1.21 to 192.168.1.254 and then hence the ip addresses 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.20 are used on static ip addresses like printers and cameras devices.

How do you log into the router
go to the internet browser and type in 192.168.1.1 and it should bring up your router The user name is most likely admin and the password will be admin by default. If no one has changed them.
I have looked at the usre manual but it does not spell out how to change the DCHP ip address ranges leases out or the way to change the ip addresses leased out to static for the cameras. I think you will find some sort of setting in thew dhcp menu option of the router.

What
I think is happening is called an ip address conflict. And the above suggestions should stop this from occurring when you reboot the IP address is re assigned and the DCHP server could be issuing ip address leases to your p.cs that are already staticly assigned to your cameras.

I need a driver for minolta pageworks 20 that will work with Windows 7, where can I find one?

In Windows 7 in the Devices and Printers box, choose Add printer, then click on Add a local printer, choose existing port if one is already created (Parallel Port or IP Port) or if you have a Network card installed create new port and go to Standard TCP/IP Port. Enter the IP Address of the printer (It will also add the port Name automatically) then Next. Select Next again for Generic Network Card. This will bring you back to the Driver Install Window.
Here you will click on Windows Update, this will download more print drivers for all manufacturers. Once the download is complete select Konica Minolta under Manufacturer then select Konica Minolta Pi7200e PCL5e, go Next and finish off the installing the Driver.
I have a PageWorks 20 at home and using it on Win 7 64bit and this driver works with all paper sizes up to 11 x 17, duplex and optional tray. The driver is for a copier so disable tray 4, hole punch etc.

I had the printer working fine, and then it decided to give me an error message. My computer is on the network, but the printer is not on the network, and I cannot figure out how to add it. Yes, I have...

Go to the printer and print out the Configuration Page. Find the IP address of the printer and try to ping it from the computer. If you can ping the IP address then we need to setup your computer to print to the right IP address. If you cannot ping the IP address then there is an issue with the Printer. Go to the printer and try to find out if the IP address is set to manual or automatic, if manual then set the IP address, Sub-net mask and Gateway to your network settings. Reboot the router and try to ping again, this should allow you to ping the printer.

Now on the computer add the printer locally to the computer using the IP address as the port. You might need to add the port if it does not already exists.

If a change in my firewall is preventing netgear router, i do i fix?

First, make sure the cables are properly connected, if using xDSL modem, it must be connected to the WAN port, the pc on the ethernet ports (any of the 4 ports available).
Second, check your current IP Address (default 192.168.1.x), then ping from your pc the ip address of the router (default 192.168.1.1). If OK, then your LAN connection works fine.
Third, ping any internet site, i.e. ping www.yahoo.com. if a reply response is received, your internet connection is now working.

If not, reset the router then do the initial set up from the router web page. Go to IE or mozilla browser, type http://192.168.1.1 (default ip add of router), the password or username is admin (default - refer to your manual). If already inside the page, go to the setup folder then proceed to configure the router. After all the configuration, check your internet connection, go to any web site.
