My wife rebooted the DVR last Thursday. I was fully expecting it to go offline over the weekend and I would then try to test communications ie. open port status, router, modem, etc. . Strangely, it has been fine since then. I run the DVR as Static. I do not run it as a service but I am interested in doing that. As far as the Latency issue, I assume that is not an issue since it has been up for 5+ days. I am still puzzled as to why it was going offline every 1-2 days and why it has now stayed online for 5+ days. Thoughts anyone?
