Port forwarding security cameras WPA2 blocked?

I just bought an Airport Extreme router and set up port forwarding for home security cameras.
When I have no security - I can access the cameras remotely (iPhone) and locally with no problems on my iPhone. However, when I add on WPA2 security everything gets blocked. Is there a firewall or feature inside the AEBS that needs to be modified? Help!

The fact that you can access the cameras remotely verifies that the port settings are correct on your AEBS.
Wireless security does not use ports as it is a local network feature so no additional base station settings should be required.
The issue appears to be with your iPhone Wi-Fi connection when wireless security is enabled. WPA2 is supported with all iPhone models.
I would recommend at this point to change the security password to see if this resolves the problem. Temporarily try the following as the base station's Wireless Security password: 0123456789abcdef0123456789
Note that there are exactly 26 characters. If this works, go ahead and change the password. I would recommend one that contains a combination of 26 letters, numbers, & punctuation marks without using any spaces.

  • Settings for port forwarding IP cameras

    I am trying to configure Airport Extreme to set them up for Port Forwarding. As I have found many times, the directions are set up for routers on PC's, not on Macs... I have accessed Port Forwarding before for other cameras, and tried to do it the same way as before, but when I click on UPDATE to update the Airport Express, and then check on the settings I made for the camera, the settings are missing...I am not sure if there is one set of Port numbers I should be using but am not... Also, on the very first heading of a port forwarding window, there are apparently several default set ups, Remote access, Mail etc.. but none for IP cameras.. wondering if there is one set up I should use in this heading. Thanks for any help or advice....

    the program that came with the camera found the IP address for the camera but lists a web address for my LAN, not a WAN...ie http://10.0.1.34/   how do I either find out what IP address the DHCP gave the camera
    The 10.0.1.34 IP address is the one assigned by the DHCP server in your AirPort Extreme router.
    how do I either find out what IP address the DHCP gave the camera, if it did, or assign one to the camera so that its accessible from outside my LAN? like an IP address of 198. etc...
    Typically, you will want to assign a static Private IP address for your IP camera. You can then port map to this static address when attempting to access the camera from the Internet. In this case you will want to use the DHCP Reservations feature that is located on the DHCP tab within the AirPort Utility.
    Accessing the camera from the Internet would require the public WAN-side IP address of your router. This address is provided to you from your ISP. So for example, if your camera is accessable from a web browser, you would enter http://<your WAN-side IP address>:80 in the browser when you are at a remote location.

  • Port forwarding & security level

    [was orig sent to fios internetforum in error- I'm on a dsl line]
    I've set up port forwarding for various services (mIRC, ftp, etc) on my Versalink gateway (Westell 327W router/modem). Ports are OK, Still, I can't access these when my firewall is set to "Typical Security" - I have to go down to Minimum for anything to get through. Is this the way it's supposed to work? I thought that port forwarding opened my selected ports in the firewall without compromising security otherwise. If I have to choose min. security, what's the point of port forwarding? Thanks for any feedback - ed

  • Port Forward Security

    Hi,
    I have a Linksys WRT54G, and a question in regards to port forwarding. I use Remote Desktop to access my home network when I am at school, and enable port 3389 each day before school, then disable access to that port at the end of the school day. This allows me access to my home network when I am at school, and then I close the port when back home, for security purposes. 
    Does anyone know of a way to limit what IP addresses (incoming) are allowed to use that port, where I can enter the IP address of the school computer so that it is allowed access, and then do not have to disable port access every day?
    tia,
    Vgolfmaster 

     Currently the included firmware does not support a source IP for specific port forwarding.  Luckily the DMZ does!  Set your computer as the DMZ with the source IP of your school.  Setting yourself as the DMZ essentially forwards all ports.  This may seem less secure, but since you can set a source IP it is more secure. 
    Nevermind that part, after reading saber_tooth's post, I looked up your router and he is right, your router does not support a source IP address for the DMZ.  
    If you don't want to use the DMZ, you could take advantage of port triggering.  Port triggering means that, when there is a connection on port x, forward port y.  So you could set up a small server of any kind, and connect to it from your school's computer.  For example, set up a small telnet server, and set port 23 as the triggering range, and 3389 as the forwarding range.  This means that port 3389 is only forwarded when there is a connection on port 23.  If you wanted to be really security paranoid (not a bad thing ) you could set up something like this: (after forwarding port 1)
    Forwarding range ---------- Triggering range
    2-2 ------------------------------ 1-1
    3-3 -------------------------------2-2
    4-4 -------------------------------3-3
    3389-3389 --------------------4-4
    This would mean you would have to connect on port one, which would unlock port two.  Connect on port two to unlock port three, and so on, until you unlock port 3389.  It would also prevent 3389 from being scanned on your system (very secure!).  You can also use any ports you want, not just 1 2 3 4, so long as you remember them!
    Obviously you would need something to listen on each of those ports, I recommend using Port Listener.
    From there you could use Telnet (Start > Run > Telnet) and connect on each of those ports, using the command "o ip.add.re.ss port".  So you would open four telnet windows, and connect to your computer on each triggering port.  You could even create a Windows batch file to do this automatically.  
    I know it sounds complicated but it really isn't! 
    You may also be able to find a software firewall that allows port exceptions by time, and set it up so it is only forwarded while you are in school.
    I hope I answered your question,
    Zach

  • Port Forwarding for Security Cameras

    I have a Cisco RV220W that I am trying to set up to view the store security cameras remotely. I can view the cameras when connected to the LAN but not with a WAN connection. The Video recorder is an ADT system. 
    Always Allow
    RTSP:TCP
    Enabled
    Any
    192.168.0.24
    8016
    Always Allow
    RTSP:UDP
    Enabled
    Any
    192.168.0.24
    8016
    The port is the viewing port for the DVR. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hello,
    I have looked into the RTSP standard, and it looks like the default ports are 554 for TCP and UDP.  Since it looks like your cameras are using a different port, you may want to try creating a custom service for 8016 externally, since the default rule is currently translating 554 to 8016.  Of course you can also try connecting to the cameras with the public IP and port number 554, that should work with your current setup.
    However if you are unable to change the port your client software uses, definitely try creating a custom service for 8016.  You may also want to double check that the camera has the RV set as it's default gateway.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do I port forward or open a port on the Airport time capsule to hook p a security system?

    I have an airport time capsule and a security system.  The installer doesn't know anything about using routers etc, especially on a mac.  They say I have to port forward or open a port specifically of this device.  I have very few skills when doing this IT type.  Is this hard to do?  Can I do it myself?  He wants to get an IT guy out?  $55 an hour, how long would it take?  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

    The method is here.
    AirPort - Port Mapping Basics using AirPort Utility v6.x
    If you need to get someone in, it depends.. The TC can be recalcitrant.. due to your setup of it following the apple guides.. and it depends on the security system and how simple that is.
    There are multiple issues.. for example how do you find your IP address from the web when you have dynamic IP from your ISP.
    Do you intend to setup dynamic DNS? Can the camera /dvr system handle Dynamic DNS?
    I recommend you read very carefully the instructions for what has been installed.. because merely opening the port is only a small part of the issues involved in remote access to the security system.

  • How do I do port forwarding on my airport extreme for my IP camera (foscam)?

    Hi,
    I've been working on this for what seems like a week.  I purchased a wireless security camera to put in my house and to see from my laptop (or IPAD2) when I'm away.  I am able to see it from either device when I'm here at home, but not when I'm out on the road. 
    According to the instructions for a mac setup, I needed to set up a DDNS service  and get a free account at DynDNS, which I did.  They also told me to use a different port than 80, suggesting 8081 as the http port which I plugged in to the camera device setting..  The next step is to do PORT FORWARDING and then I should be able to use my DDNS domain name and port number to login to my camera anywhere...
    I'm stuck in how to do this with my airport extreme.  I see where I have to go into utilities and click on airport utility, and then manual set-up..
    Right now when I click on the Internet tab at the top I see the connection sharing is off (Bridge Mode), and that I have to change it to share a public IP address to get DHCP and NAT to appear in the tabs..
    when I go to NAT, the box for enable NAT port mapping protocol is checked and then there is a tab I can click on that says Configure Port Mapping.
    I know that I'm supposed to click the plus button + to enter a service and a port and here's where I get stuck
    when I click the + button I can either click on the choose  a service tab, which then drops down a list of services like Personal File Sharing, Window Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, Remote Login SSH , etc, or just keep it where it says choose a service and not choose one of the services.
    Then there are some boxes to fill in for Public UDP Port(s), Public TCP Port(s),  PRIVATE IP address-where the only numbers I can change are the last ones and I don't know if I'm supposed to put the IP address of the camera or what?  and then the boxes for Public UDP and PUBLIC TCP.
    I tried a few times to fill out the port numbers to 8081 (the one I selected for the IP camera) but I don't know what to do for the private IP address. When I changed the last numbers to the IP address of my camera, and went to update, it told me that I  had to correct the 2 problems before updating:
    DHCP beginning address, and dhcp ending address...as the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the  WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device.  So I cancel and am stuck.
    Sorry this is so long.. but I really can't get anyone to help me figure this out.. The camera company isn't answering ..
    Thanks!!
    Barry

    Thanks for the info. I checked the model number on the Westell site to get info on the device. From Westell's info.....
    1. Product Description
                            This ADSL modem is a NAT router with a four port 10/100BaseT Ethernet switch, a USB port and 802.11g wireless interface.
    So, while you might refer to it as a "modem" ( a modem will only have one Ethernet port), you have a router or gateway. A gateway is simply a modem and router in the same box.
    With the AirPort Extreme, you have 2 routers on the network. Basic networking rules dictate that when there are 2 routers, the first....your Westell.....must handlde DHCP and NAT,  and the second router....in this case the AirPort Extreme....must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will function correctly on the network. That's why the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode. That is the correct setting on your network.
    That's also why you were getting the error messages when you tried to configure the Extreme as a second router.
    As I mentioned before, any port mapping or port forwarding is going to have to be set up on the "main" router....your Westell. It cannot be set up on the AirPort Extreme.

  • Need some help with ip camera port forwarding

    Setting up a ip wireless security camera to provide internet access thru a airport extreme router. Using the free ip scanner software provided with the  camera, I can see and connect to the camera on my own home network, wirelessly. I believe that port forwarding will give me access to the camera outside the local network. I'd like to be sure I am setting up the port forwarding correctly. Also if I decide to use back to my Mac in the future will this camera setup interfere with the settings?

    OK I figured out how to Port forward and how to do DHCP reservations. Unfortunately the latest 5th Gen Airport extreme software has a bug and neither ip Cam would work. Rolling back the software on the Airport to a previous version finally allowed the DHCP reservations to work. But the port forwarding or something is not working. I can not log on to the ip cams remotely or wirelessly. I may have to borrow a different Wireless router from a IT friend and disconnect the Airport Extreme, to get the cams on wirelessly. Hopefully they fix the problem some day.

    Thanks,

    For "Unknown-7c-dd-90-05-5e-df" the bit in bold should be the MAC address of your camera. It is normally printed on the device somewhere.
    You can rename this if you wish, by editing the name to something more appropriate.
    You should have a created a custom rule called mikes-camera, which with:-
    Protocol TCP
    Start port 8080
    End port 8080
    Mapped to 8080
    Leave the rest blank.
    You should be able to assign this to the device.
    A lot depends on which version of the home hub you are using.
    What I have found by experience, is that it is better to use a static IP address, if your device supports it, as DHCP can be a bit unreliable when port mapping is involved.
    You can use a static address outside of the DHCP range. Like 192.168.1.50.
    You can still forward ports to it, by selecting the device by its IP address, not its name.
    If you can view your camera within your own network, using http://192.168.1.69:8080 then you just need to persevere with the port mapping.

  • HT3546 How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

    How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

    In most cable systems, the router you have will plug into your modem and just work automatically. A NAT (Network Address Translation) router takes your external IP and hands out LAN (Local Area Network) based IPs. All of the devices you are working with right now should handle the change automatically unless you've changed from the default automatic configuration.
    The problem with your wireless end of this is that the iPhone is not yet 802.11n, only 802.11g. Because that router is not dual band, all of your wifi devices will be forced to slow down to 802.11g speeds. This won't matter much for each device that's connecting to the internet, as your bottleneck is still going to be there. Where you will see slowdowns is device to device connections, like transferring data between the devices.

  • Port Direction Definition? (and got port forward to work in medium security!)

    I just received my replacement modem (327W to 7500) and I want to set it to medium security.  I need to forward ports, like UDP 123 for time service (why is this not a predefined service?).
    Anyway, I got it to work by making one new service with "host" and all three combinations of direction as rules.  This is because I could not figure out the implications of Direction: In/Out or Port Directionrc/Dst.
    I downloaded the manual BUT it does not define those choices; just sez select.  It reminds me of the old IBM Fortran manuals where you could only find what you needed if you already knew the answer.
    Anyway, I am sure I am not the only one with this question.  Like I said, the good news is you CAN port forward in medium security, it just ain't pretty the way I did it.

  • Port Forwarding Question for IP Camera with MI424WR-GEN3

    So just switched to fios from cable and trying to set up port forwarding on this new actiontec router so I can view my IP Camera from outside the house.
    The camera has a static IP address of 192.168.1.200  using port 8080 and I works fine if I type that IP address with the port into the browser inside the network.
    The IP Camera company requires you to port forward  port 80 (switched to 8080) 554 and 50000-60000.
    So I set up Portforwarding on the router like this:
    Networked Computer / Device
    192.168.1.200:8080
    Applications & Ports Forwarded
    IPCamera
    TCP 8080 -> 8080
    UDP 8080 -> 8080
    TCP 554 -> 554
    UDP 554 -> 554
    TCP 50000-60000 -> 50000-60000
    UDP 50000-60000 -> 50000-60000
    WAN Connection Type
    All Broadband Devices
    Status
    Active
    Now the problem is when I type my real IP address:  108.XX.XXX.37:8080 (from inside the network it pulls up the Fios router login page and when I pull it up outside the network I get page not found.  This isnt any different then I had previously done on my Netgear router, but I must be missing something on this actiontec one.  Any suggestions?

    No port on the ip address

  • RTSP steaming Port Forward (?) problems with 4 (four) WVC54GCA cameras on WRT54G v2 router.

    so that part works fine.
    All the 4 cameras are set up with static IP addresses.
    The default RTSP port 554 and RTP Data port at 5000 are forwarded to CAM1 IP address. I can access CAM1 RTSP feed on my Blackberry Bold (and also on a good old Samsung SGH-A706 cell phone).

    Each and every help idea is greatly appreciated!

    I have six of these cams and used the tutorial and review at http://www.Myhomserver.com for help.  First thing, set ALL the RTSP access codes the SAME, so all you need to do is increment the port for each cam
    Cam 1 - 192.168.1.200 - set at port 80 TCP - RTSP port default at 554, forward port 5000 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
    Cam 2 - 192.168.1.201 - set at port 1024 TCP - RTSP port at 1029, forward port 5001 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
    Cam 3 - 192.168.1.202 - set at port 1025 TCP - RTSP port at 1030, forward port 5002 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
    Cam 4 - 192.168.1.203 - set at port 1026 TCP - RTSP port at 1031, forward port 5003 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345

    Accessing CAMS can be done via your cell phone below:
    Camera 1---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:554/12345
    Camera 2---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1029/12345
    Camera 3---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1030/12345
    Camera 4---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1031/12345
    Camera 5---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1032/12345
    Camera 6---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1033/12345
