Installed a new Archer AX21 router after ditching a Netgear Nighthawk that was acting up. It puts out good WiFi and my devices can connect, but one thing I noticed is my Lorex camera system that is ethernet wired to the back of the router is not connecting to the internet. I can't view my cameras remotely. What should I check? I don't remember doing anything special on my old router for them to work. I've updated the router to latest firmware, reset the router, reset the camera's NVR. Thanks

most likely you need to reserve an ip address for the nvr such as 192.168.x.x where the x is in your pool range and then set up port forwarding. Look at your existing nvr or old router settings which may help you determine which ports to set up.
