Opening Ports for Eyeon on the Netgear FVG318 Firewall
Eyeon uses two ports per camera. If you have a second camera, you will have to set the ports of that camera
so that they are different from the ports for the first camera. The same thing would have to be done
for the thrid camera, and so on. Every port you setup will have to be forwarded to it's respective camera.
I'll give example ports here for the first three cameras.
Camera 1 - Port 80, 9001
Camera 2 - Port 81, 9002
Camera 3 - Port 82, 9003
This guide will show you how to forward ports for the first camera.

Please enter the ip address that the camera is using into the box below.
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router.
By default the IP address should be set to http://www.routerlogin.net.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is password. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above do not work for you.
