I have a security camera system at a client location. The owner want’s to monitor the business from home. I had it working for 3 months using DHCP with a Dynamic DNS site. After a recent power outage, it works intermittently (I have to reset every day). I can log in to the DCP3939B modem when connected via LAN port if I do a reset, but it locks up right away and won’t let me change anything. Tech support opened a ticket, but after 2 days, no call back.
My question is; should I put the modem into bridge mode and get a router that actually works? Or should I just look for a new service provider that has user friendly equipment?
