Help: how to enable UpnP on Uverse router.

[benybrady 0]

Hello all,

total newbie here looking to have a security system Swann which I already bought to be able to monitored thru my smartphone/internet. My Swann DVR doesn't have a mobile device icon on it's menu screen so upon further reading, I read somewhere that I have to enable UPnP on my router? I read on the att website that I can't do that? True? Am I stuck with a $600 paper weight?

Any help....greatly appreciated.

have you rtfm'd (read the f---- manual)? that's the best place to find out *if* it will even do what you need. and that assumes your isp hasn't locked it down to deny you access.

 

whole buncha info here on modifying them: http://hackingbtbusinesshub.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/outside-and-inside-the-2wire-3801hgv/

 

the manual can be downloaded here: https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=1233843 - there's nothing in it that mentions upnp; however, port forwarding is covered starting on page 103 of the booklet (page 111 of the pdf)

 

ultimately, your dvr isn't the boat anchor (well, pretty near, but not because of this)... the router is, as it looks like an old, obsoleted model. you should check with at&t about an upgrade.

 

btw, lots of discussion of these things on at&t's forums as well: http://forums.att.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=location&location=forum-board%3Agateway&q=3801
