Title: Connection Timed Out When Using 4G
Post by: Razukun7 on April 23, 2017, 03:12:53 AM
Hi

I have two DCS 2630L.

I get a "Connection timed Out " error when trying to connect to the camera from the DLink lite app on a 4G connection. It is fine when I am on a WIFI connection.

I am using an iPhone 7, on the latest iOS.

Dlink Camera Firmware has been updated to v1.04.

I have tried setting the camera on static IP (Can someone showed me the right way)?

uPNP is enabled on my router. I am using a TPLink AC 1200 router.

Kindly advise

That's really strange.  Who is your 4G connection? There were T-mobile problems I believe in other posts, but I thought that was recently fixed. (I didn't keep up as I have verizion).

Tried the uPNP Port Forwarding, did not work. Can recommend the port settings?

Are you able to switch to 3G or 2.5G as a test?

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

Have called and issued a case service reports before i started this post. Level 1 support recommended the static IP and enable uPNP on router, which did not work.The level 1 support mentioned they will push a level 2 support. But I have received one call back by a level 2 support, but it was during my office hours. Have not heard from them since.

Called the dlink call center, they have recommended:
-  trying using different devices and mobile networks to access camera
- Asked him to remove proxy settings and proxy port (80) for mobile network settings
-  try to open port 80 on his router for the camera


None of the above has helped. Will continue to push for a level 3 support.

HI,

Here are the latest response from the DLink Support team on my issue:

- Advised to share the mydlink account credentials to check it from our end (which i am very uncomfortable share)
> Try to configure the camera with a different router if you have it
> Try to remove the static ip from the camera and change it to DHCP
> Try to create a hotspot on another phone and then try connecting to the wifi of that hotspot and access the camera



Will update on the above outcome.

Well you can always change your password when done.

Have you tried none HD remote access? Maybe the Telcom is blocking hd type streaming. .

Set the camera on the lowest setting. 

Can you stream you tube at 1080p or higher?

Latest Update:

Happy to report my issue seems to improve.I now can access my DCS 2630Ls and all other dlink cameras via a 4G network.  It has been two weeks, though i faced "Connection Timed Out" at certain times, i am able to access my dlink cameras more frequently compare to the time i started this post.


Here what had happend:

1) Switch Telco providers. the change did not happen immediately.

2) Changed all cameras to a default setup.

3) Gain helped from a level 3 tech support and shared login details. Unsure what wizardry they might have done as no follow-up emails were sent after the support call.


Till then, will revert to this post should I see any deterioration.

Title: Re: Connection Timed Out When Using 4G (RESOLVED)

Glad it's all working now. Hopefully will be working well.

Maybe a change in service providers and doing a clean reset on the cameras may have got it all up and running.

Enjoy.  ;)
