Hi again,
Well it's been a little while since I posted here because all was going fine. 2 days ago all was well and today I decided to check my cameras through the app while in a shopping center parking lot, and find it can't connect to my modem once again

Came home and checked the settings and all were same and static ip was still set as I reserved it. But still could not connect from either cell phone. Decided to browse all settings in the Hub 3000 and discovered that the manual settings for the internal ip address had once again changed back to .17 for the last digits in the Port Forwarding section. Changed it to the reserved ip numbers and now it works again.
How the heck could this happen if nothing was manually changed? The external ip address is still the same as it was when I first posted here and the static ip address in the advanced settings is the correct manually set ip address.
Why does the port forwarding settings revert back to a default ip address? For some reason the 192.168.2 17 is still in the hub 3000 somewhere and assigned to my dvr. This was the default ip address the 3000 assigned to the dvr before I manually reserved another internal ip address. Where can I find this default assigned ip and delete it once and for all? This Hub 3000 is not to be trusted when customizing the settings for my needs.
Greatly appreciate any help in this matter.
cheers
