no connection with mobile 3G router

Postby blitzebuechse » Tue Jul 05, 2016 3:35 pm

hi tim,

i've got an interesting topic regarding the connection of my cam with your app:

a. everything works as designed using my iPhone as a wifi hotspot
b. everything works as designed using my home wifi via Speedport W504V

c. by the use of TP-Link mobile wifi router the app doesn't find the cam (even though eyefi card and iPad are connected with the TP-Link router!)

what is the problem with case c? i assume there might be a problem with the router settings... do you have any idea?

best regards,
dennis

Hi,
I saw this same issue once on a DLINK-DIR505 (great device by the way). It turned out the wifi router had a physical switch on the side, with different settings. It was set on wifi hotspot. Changing the switch from wifi hotspot to "router mode" fixed it.

Basically, I suspect that your TP-Link is not acting as a full router. Perhaps there is a mode switch in software, or perhaps a physical switch. You want full-blown router mode.
