Disconnected security cameras

Solved!

How did you solved the issue?  Details if you can?

I found this solution on the forum, somewhere. I just added the "-5" at the end of the SSID name and it works beautifully. 

"

Most of the AT&T gateways (you don't say which model you have) are 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz combined into one Wifi Network Name (SSID).  The wifi devices are supposed to interact with the gateway and come to a decision as to which frequency they should connect to.

At least that's the theory, but things like your camera don't often do well when faced with this combined frequency situation so you've got two choices...

You have to separate the bands OR enable the Guest Wifi Network which is 2.4GHz only and point the camera to that.

Note: At some point during either of these operations you'll be asked for the Access Code which is found on the gateway itself.

To go with the first solution, go to http://192.168.1.254/cgi-bin/wconfig.ha In the 5GHz section change the Network Name (SSID) to something else.  I usually suggest just adding a -5 onto the end of the current name.  Scroll down and hit Save.  Oh, ignore the dire warnings about the end of civilization if you change the name.

After this, any devices that work better on 5GHz will need to be told to connect to the new SSID you just made but the exiting 2.4 devices should just keep working. 

If you'd rather go the Guest Wifi route, go to that Wi-Fi page and click Basic Options near the upper left side and Enable the Guest SSID and point the camera to that Guest Network Name."  (By Tonydi, AT&T employee).

Good luck

Thanks for your advise, I appreciate it.  I found the above instructions a day or so ago and tried it.  Didn't work for me.  I'm sure I did it correctly.  Thank again.

Well, I worked on the problem for quite sometime, disconnecting the cameras, deleting the cameras from the app and setting them up again as new. Very fearful not to mess up the AT&T modem. A lot of trial and error. Patience. Keep working on it. I'm not a tech person so I trust a lot on luck.

Be well

Thanks for the encouragement.  I will keep trying.  I am being sent a replacement gateway but I do not think the gateway is the issue.  Again, thank you.
