For your convenience, the table below lists some common router manufacturers along with
their most frequently used default gateway adresses.
IMPORTANT! As of this writing, 2Wire brand routers do not support Static
IP. Because of this, in the event that your router has to restart, you will need
to repeat the steps to obtain the new IP address. Connecting the router to an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can prevent this issue.
STATIC IP
The first number you wrote down, the DVR’s IP address, is what you can use to access your
DVR while you are on the same network. This address can be entered into a Windows
Explorer browser as you would a regular web address. See Chapter 2 Remote Monitoring
for full instructions on using this feature.
However, in the event of a power outage or other event that causes the router to restart, the
router will often reassign a new IP address to connected devices and you will have to repeat
the procedure above to be able to log into your DVR.
In some situations where only your router is disconnected or powered off whlle your DVR is
unaffected, you may have to restart your DVR to refresh the information on the Network Setup
page to get the new IP address.
To avoid this issue, return to the Network Setup window and change the pull-down Type
menu to Static. Click on Apply to save your changes before exiting the menu.
