can't get to axis 2100 through wet11...
alright, something's wrong here.
i configured the wet11 to have an ip that was clear of any other device on my subnet. then, i plugged the axis 2100 into it and made sure the wet11 had the switch to "X" as specified in the instructions... went to another system on the lan and typed in the ip of the wet11, and up came the web admin page. now here's the problem: the axis had an ip of 192.168.1.201 and i can no longer ping that ip. my understanding was the wet11's ip was "transparent" and the axis would be "seen" still at 192.168.1.201? i've tried several re-configurations, but am not getting anywhere. where did i go wrong? |

ok, looks like the firmware release has some problems for SOME people.
i cruised through the forums on DSLreports and found several people have NO problem with their axis 2100 and the wet11 - unfortunately, i'm not one of them. will most likely flash the wet11 to an older firmware release and see what happens. seems some people are upset that the wet11 1.43 firmware removes some of the "advanced" settings and statistics that 1.3x had... |

FWv1.54 came out 5 days ago. You might want to try that, too. I have no idea how good it is, although it supposedly removes the dreaded "XBox/Halo" problem.

*sigh*
well, thanks for the suggestion, Thorn, but it isn't working. even went through a "firmware scare" when the flash didn't happen right and my UPS crapped out in mid-flight (don't even ask what happened : )) anyway, a factory reset of the axis 2100 now shows it flashing an amber led, which i think means it is trying to talk, compared to the red led which lit up immediately whenever i used the "old" settings on the axis 2100 and plugged it into the wet11. i know i will eventually figure this out, but i dread this periodic showdown with the "product that won't cooperate". it's too bad i couldn't find an answer in all of the 2 posts on the web concerning setting up a wet11 and an axis 2100...they were both complaining about "droppouts" with the new firmware (but i can't even get my axis to COMMUNICATE on the lan yet!). try...try again... |

Good to know. I've hit on some weird things like that for different equipment before.
========================= The FW fix does work for the Xbox. My Halo opponent called about 20 minutes ago. We are on for a wireless deathmatch.

hey, i thought HALO on Xbox Live wouldn't handle the upload bandwidth requirements? (on a cable/DSL line, that is)
i sold my XBOX late last year after winning HALO 2x over on every difficulty setting... but i'm also an OLD cs multiplayer junkie (played with NATO several times) unfortunately, i'm getting too old for LAN gaming (heh). boy, it sure sucks that the wet11 seems limited to 10Mb/s for data through a lan camera - it help immensely that i use 100Mb/s for multiple camera streams... guess i have my research project for the weekend - thanks for helping out Thorn. |

and as a final post for the evening, the ONE other corroborating reply to a thread about this very problem on dslreports.com forum:
"jch781 anonymous 65.122.65.x I actually seem to have managed to stabilize the WET11 by reducing the throughput of the Axis camera to 10mpbs, Half Duplex." |

As to being "too old for LAN gaming", I say "Nonsense!" Hell, I'm a grandfather*, and I play at a LAN party about once a month with friends, relatives and other assorted weirdos. Ages range from grandparents to teens. Games include XBox stuff as well as Quake2/III, Half-Life, etc. Give me a (virtual) rocket launcher and I'm a happy man.  * A youthful, good-looking grandfather, but a grandfather nonetheless. My son is probably older than many of the members here. Quote:
Speed and compatiblity issues across different LAN equipment can be a bear. I once spent some hours in an underground cable vault dealing with exactly that issue. In that case, I ended up calling the factory and talking to an engineer. He immediately said to force one device to 10mbs. Worked like a charm. No mention of that in the manual...  Good luck in geting more speed through. Just a thought: Can you put a 100mbs switch on the cameras, put the WET11 on one port? Madhadder suggested something like that in another thread. It might give you the best of both worlds. Please post any results, it may help someone else in the future.

you know, before i bought the wet11, the axes were on a switch and running fine at 100Mb/s...
unfortunately, i don't have a switch to experiment with, since the BEFWS114 is going to be "in the house" whereas the axis lan cameras will be "in the attic" and will need their own switch... i have an old 3com hub, but i haven't tested it with the cameras yet - plus it gets VERY hot on it's metal underside which makes me worry about putting it in the attic for use with the cameras... |

Yes. Oops. I thought you knew that.
 When we were talking about the 100mps, I was thinking of something going on over on the camera side of the network. Even at "11mps" most are set to half-duplex, which means 5.5mps or slower.
