Title: Cannot connect Xx34A open wireless
Post by: wileya on November 07, 2012, 10:27:44 AM
I bought an 8 pack of the XX34A wireless cameras and have been trying to connect them to my wireless network for a week now. My wireless network uses MAC address authentication and no encryption. i can connect to the camera fine when it is wired in, put in a static IP, select the wireless network to connect to (after putting the camera's MAC address in), and when the camera reboots - nothing. I have tried changing the port from 80 to 81, connecting to a 5Ghz radio and 2.4 Ghz radio, but nothing seems to work. HELP!

I would disable the MAC address authentication to test to see if that is your problem. I have had problems when using a MAC address filter in the past (but not with an IP camera). I had to disable the filter and set up encryption to resolve my problem.

Let me know if you require any further assistance.

The MAC address authentication works perfeclty well on the XX36A Outdoor cameras i have running on it. They set up very easily following the directions. I don't want to dismantle a system that is currently supporting many other devices, including iPads, iPhones, Tablets, and other cameras due to what could probably be fixed by rolling back to a previous firmware version if i could find one.
