Finally had time to get back to this project and was able to solve it. The Netgear cell modem was configured in router mode, not bridge mode. So that wasn’t the issue. I changed the cell modem IP address to be the same as Netgear WiFi router and set the range of DHCP addresses to include the current IP address of the base station. I was then able to plug the cat5 cable directly from the cell modem to the base station and remove the router completely. Rebooted everything and it all came back on line working perfectly.
I also replaced 10W solar panel with a 100W solar panel and replaced the 12V 7Ah battery with a 12V 35Ah battery along with a programable charging controller.
So far (4-days) it has been running non-stop with 4 outdoor cams. Now I want to see about getting some small solar panels to keep the cameras running nonstop. Maybe make some “bird houses” to hide the cameras (WYZE how about making camo-cam versions? White is not very discrete).
I am pretty impressed on the base station’s range, probably over 100 yards.
