Multiple attempts to setup PanCam, get to the point where it reads Qr code but after just a few seconds “unable to connect to local network”. Guess I’m not getting the “link” between the PanCam, smart phone and home wireless network router. Seems like the camera needs to connect to the home wireless…

MAC filter is disabled. I think it is WPA, but not sure how to confirm. Just went thru all the router settings and didn’t see any tabs for that. Linksys WRT54G 2.4GHz

Connect to the 54G with your web browser, go to the Wireless tab, then the Wireless security sub-tab. The first line should tell you what security you are using. What color is the indicator light on the back of the camera?

Just came for a break from mowing. Under Wireless Security the only option is Security Mode. It is currently Disabled. The drop down options are WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA Radius, Radius and WEP.

Forgot to add that I’m trying to connect the Pan Cam, so status lights are in the front under the lens. It is blinking amber and blue.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering too how it needed a pw but encryption was disabled. I’ll give the shared key option a try. I have my home security camera system, a printer, wifi enabled BluRay and at times my laptop hitting the Linksys Though just the laptop and BluRay are truly wireless. The …

I went and searched the Linksys WRT54G router Real quick earlier today and my first thought was , Man that puppy is ancient , time to upgrade to an AC router . You can even get an AC router for around 50 bucks

Yeah, I used to have a Linksys WRT54G until my downloading interfered with my TV recordings. Saturated the network, and the recordings skipped all over the place. And forget recording 2 channels at once. Those things are just too old if you want to do anything beyond web browsing. They wouldn’t …

I did some more searching and found they were introduced in 2002 , According to Linksys There obsolete EOL ( End of life) was 2012 Even if you didn’t have any AC hardware it would still be a lot better router
