Netgear Router Configuration for Remote Access
This section describes the steps of setting up a Netgear router
for remote access of Air Cam.
Step 1. Obtain the Local IP Address of Your Computer
Windows XP users, you can get the local IP
address using the instructions
here. Please skip to Step 2.
Windows Vista users, you can get the local IP
address using the instructions
here.
Please skip to Step 2.
Mac users, from the Apple menu, go to System
Preference..., and select Network.
Select Airport (or Ethernet, if
you use wired connection) from the left panel, and take note of
the IP address to the right. Write down this address, as you
will need it to configure the router.
In our example, the Mac IP address is 192.168.1.67 (yours might
be different).
Step 2. Configure Router
Please visit
this link. Skip to the section "Open a web browser like
internet explorer or Netscape", and follow its steps. At the
"Add a Custom Service" section, enter the following:
- Name: AirCam
- Protocol: TCP
- Port Start: 1726
- Port End: 1726
At the "Rules" section, add the following to
both Inbound and Outbound traffic
- Service: AirCam
- Action: Allow always
- Send to LAN Server: (the IP address you
obtained from Step 1 above)
- Wan users: Any
- Log: Never
Make sure you save the settings.
Step 3. Obtain the Public IP of Your Router
Your network carrier assigns an IP address to your router.
This address can change from time to time. You will need to
obtain this address.
Open a browser window on the computer where Air Cam runs, and go
to
http://whatismyip.org. This site shows your router's
IP address.
Step 4. Test Your Connection
Now you are ready to test out your remote connection.
First, start up Air Cam on your computer. Then, start Air Cam on
your iPhone/iPod, and select Manual Connection.
Enter the router IP address you obtained from Step 3.
Congratulations! You are now viewing live feed from your Mac
on your iPhone/iPod via remote access.
