This is my situation. I have a netgear router connected to a tp link switch poe. Cameras are connected through this. When upgrading my new router the c7 and connect everything as I have the netgear router, I lose my feed from the ip cams. All within the local network. Can anyone know why?

Start with the basics, can you ping the IP cameras?

Is the new router using the same ip address as the old one? 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1?

is the cable from the c7/netgear to the POE good?


plug a laptop into he poe, can you still see cams. (assuming cams are a static I.P)

As someone has said I assume both routers are on same I.P group

It's not it's 192.168.0.1, the old netgear router was 192.168.1.1

Cable is good. Same one I was using before also tried a few others just to confirm.

And the new C7 is also 192.168.1.1??
As @ramleaf said, can you ping the camera? Do you know the cameras IP?

change the I.P of the C7 to the same ip as the old netgear.
Just changed the ip address to 192.168.1.1 and now everything is working fine. Any reason why this was preventing it from working before?

Can anyone guide me or at least give me ideas of what can be causing this new issue.
New archer c7 router hard wired to my PC cat5e is giving me less than 20mbps down where as my old router netgear was allowing me to download up 80mbps?
On WiFi I get 60-70mbps. What can be causing this. Also would it hurt or make a difference if I go to switch first than router?

It's a different IP address segment - separate address range. So the cameras are on one range, presumably using fixed IP addresses, and the rest of the network is on another range.
