NEW ROUTER and settings DVR setup issues .TCP&UDP .TCP

[paige9322 0]

i have a dvr that i can use to access through the Internet to view my video from any computer through my old belkin router i can do this no problem .setting's in old router i have both TCP&UDP plus the option to use separately ,on my new router it only lets me pick either tcp or udp as a separate setting i have done this because i don't have the option to use as both together i set dmz to put the dvr ip address outside the router . but will not access port or open video dvr softwear.i have phoned belikin support they say the new router is faulty but i disagree ,because i need to use TCP&UDP which i don't have on new router .is there a way round this has anyone set a dvr up around this problem .or do i need to change the router for a different model

i'd simply try a different router. i have a video server that will not broadcast audio on one router, but will on another. some toys don't play together well. have the same problem with one of my ip cams. i can get audio to stream using one brand router, but won't work on certain other brands.

It doesnt matter which one you use (unless your software doesnt recognize UDP traffic) you should just keep it at TCP. The differance between the two is that TCP will do an error check (thus being a little heavy on the bandwidth) but UDP doesnt. However, it sends everything down errors and all (bad packets). Your router may be having an issue forwarding the traffic. Check out portforward.c0m (cant post yet so replace that zero ), just find your router in the list and follow the steps, it makes it easier to set up than the directions you get with those routers. Good Luck.

ANYONE KNOW IF I CAN CONNECT TW0 ROUTERS TO ONE NETWORK?????SO I CAN USE ONLY THE ONE FOR MY DVR AND THE OTHER ROUTER FOR OTHER WIRELESS ITEMS WOULD THIS BE A BETTER OPTION TO DO

Generally the best thing to do is get port forwarding working. I have seen 2 routers on 1 network, but I don't see how that will help your issue.

 

If you have multiple public IP addresses you can use multiple routers as you mentioned. I do that at home. I put DVR's behind linksys routers all the time without issue. But personally I am leaning away from linksys because they dropped the antenna connectors and they try hard to keep people from flashing 3rd party firmware to their devices. Not cool...

 

I prefer to put my DVR's out in the wild. No router. But you have to have the public IP's to do it.

Are you running the latest firmware for your router? Even though it is new, sometimes they ship with older firmware.

 

As for the TCP / UDP question. If I'm understanding this correctly, you can only choose TCP or UDP but not both? In that case, couldn't you create a TCP entry to DVR port and then create a second UDP entry to the same DVR port?

 

For example:

 

Your old router:

Entry1) TCP and UDP to port 1234

 

Your new router:

Entry1) TCP to port 1234

Entry2) UDP to port 1234

 

BTW: If you use the DMZ for your DVR, you don't need to do any port forwarding.

hi thanks i have dmz ticked in the setting with the ip address of the dvr in it

my old router setting have these setting LAN IP ADDRESS PROTOCALL TYPE TCP&UDP .TCP UDP LAN PORT PUPLIC PORT for security reasons i would like to show how these are setup but with today and how date is stolen i cant risk giving these out so its hard to explain ,why i wanted 2 routers set up is that the old router works fine with my dvr its the new one that i cant get to go with it ,i have to Delmer's the new router is more better/stable with less error connections losses when i use my ps3 and other computers on it ,then with today's technology i thought it would be more compatible with these devises ,and because i don't have both TCP&UDP in the new router could this cause problems with hardware

 

thanks paige

If your DVR is in the DMZ, it doesn't matter what you have set in there for port forwarding unless they conflict. The DMZ is in the wild and ALL ports are open on it. As a test, leave the DVR IP in the DMZ and REMOVE your port forwarding rules for the DVR.
