URGENT HELP REQUIRED 2.4 or 5GHZ Cant connect to cctv devices

Hi.. Before I lose the will to live could someone offer me some support asap please...

I took delivery of a new router / smart hub this week and started to connect l devices, no probs so far.  When I tried to connect both of my CCTV systems it would work. My Alexa and Ring have connected with no issues.. I tried the following and still no joy.. 

  • Disabled 5GHZ to allow cctv to connect to 2.4
  • I have tried a number of 2.4Ghz channels
  • Reset router
  • Reset devices and the associated app
  • Called EE spent around 3 hours in total on phone
  • Spoke to CCTV companies who confirm no issue with services or devices
  • Looked at the advice online and followed that

The devices connected to my last smart hub no problem.  It seems whatever I disable or reset the cameras / App just won’t connect to the WIFI.  EE have been little help and keep telling e to go back to the manufacturer of cctv or the app creator.  They have ordered me a new router to try that one.

I have little hope that another brand new router will resolve the issue.  I need the CCTV up and running today! I can’t leave the house without the cctv on and EE don't seem to understand or care!

Thanks in advance

Hi @SF7777 

Welcome to the community.

I notice this was posted in the mobile broadband board, but you mention a smart router. Could you confirm if it's a mobile broadband router or a mobile router please?

@SF7777 Have you tried to match the security type for the Wi-Fi signal on the EE router?

Hi Jim,

 

If you could guide me how to do this, it would be much appreciated. cheers

Have you checked the router’s home page and see if the CCTV is listed there, and if you can change the IP address is uses to a fixed one.
