Hey everyone. So, I've got a 10 mbps up connection, I've set up VPN on my home PC, I've forwarded the port in my router and I can connect to the VPN via my shield.
However, when I go to connect to my Steam on my shield, it acts like it's connecting, changes the screen as if it's going to show me video, but just displays black. I can even sometimes hear sounds, but no video. If I check my actual PC, it did launch the program, it just for some reason is not streaming/displaying the actual video. Any ideas? I have a Netgear WNDR3700 G/N dual band router.

Did a few hours of searching, couldn't find something similar enough that helped fix it, so here goes what I've done, and my problem...There are two problems, but I'm thinking they MAY be related....I'm more worried about splashtop though.
PROBLEMS: I cannot get any devices to see the transformer or vice-versa. Using MyNet, I can't see my PS3 or computer, nor can they see it. Also, with splashtop, after installing it all (including the HD app), I can't get them to see each other in my home network. For MyNet, when it's loaded on the transformer, the left-hand side only shows the transformer, and doesn't show any of the other DLNA devices in my household (PS3 up and running, and computer)
They are BOTH connected to my home network. My router (netgear 624v4) sees all the devices as "attached" devices, and all of them can connect to the web and browse, but don't seem to connect to each other. I tried setting up a manual IP address using both the in-network IP and the out of network IP (modem's IP I guess), but nothing.
I don't think this is an issue with ports as I've successfully forwarded them, and as I understand, this shouldn't be an issue in my house anyway. I'm really wanting to remote into the computer, mainly for hulu.com, while at home on the couch, and the MyNet is not too big an issue, but I'm surprised it doesn't work with my PS3.
I have a Netgear 624v4 router, an Actiontec GT701 modem. I have the modem assigning a static IP to the router (192.168.0.2, with the modem being .0.1), and I assigned "reserved" ip's within the router to my computer, PS3, and transformer respectively so I can make sure they get the same IP each time, and the right ports stay forwarded on the right systems.
Really frustrated that even a base application like MyNet isn't seeing the devices and I'm wondering if it's something with the network or router since they can't seem to communicate that way, or maybe something DLNA-wise that I have to do in order to get it all working.
I appreciate any help I can get, and any other tips to try to narrow down the problem. Thank you.

Ok. UPDATE:
Reset my router AND my DSL modem. Opened the ports on BOTH the modem and the router (not necessary for inhouse splashtop, but I thought in case it didnt work, maybe that'd help with remote splashtop access).
Turns out, splashtop ONLY works on the main user account. So I have to try to access it through my wife's account on the computer. One problem solved. TF also finding the computer for MyNet but not PS3 yet. Gonna open the ports for the PS3 (just in case), but I have a feeling that's not the issue.

I have an Ethernet / Wireless IP Camera. It works on my home network without any issues. But I would like to connect with it directly from my Razr.
When it is on my home network and I'm accessing the control panel then the camera's configuration panel will detect and connect to my Razr running FoxFi. But I don't know how to access the camera to view it. Going to the camera application doesn't do it.
I have IP camera software on my Razr, including the camera viewer that came with the camera. I have FoxFi that I can use. I have the USB Host Ethernet cable that I can use. But I have no clue how I can wirelessly connect directly to the camera.
Any help in getting connected would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
Never mind. I got it figured out. In case anyone else is looking for a similar solution, here are the steps:
Connect the camera to the home network via Ethernet.
Note: If a port other than 80 is used then it will need to be remembered and specified on the phone.
Configure the camera with the SSID and password for the FoxFi hotspot.
Disconnect the Ethernet from the camera.
On the phone, start FoxFi.
Wait a moment for the camera to connect.
Once connected FoxFi will display the IP assigned to the camera.
Open whatever viewing application you wish and configure the camera.
Alternatively, it can be viewed through a browser.
I'm typing this just after connecting, so I haven't learned if there are any shortcuts when disconnecting and reconnecting later, or if there are any pecularities with the process. I may also experiment later with streaming through a Rasperry Pi, which would bypass using the phone as the hotspot. But this should get someone going.
I have DSL 6mbps connected to a Linksys E2500 router, very good connectivity, and my PC is hardwired to it. I can play 720p videos on 3-4 devices with no buffering. I just got a brand new S6, set it up, synced, and once I connect it to wifi, it slows down astronomically. I can barely load one 144p video, the phone itself can barely load anything. I turned off auto backup, smart switch wifi, and nothing helps. I can't find anyone with this problem.
I turned off everything except my PC and the S6, load a game, get 60ms ping, turn on wifi on the phone, and I get over 999ms of ping. What is the problem? I have tried restarting router, phone, resetting network configs on phone, etc. Nothing helps.
Any ideas?
I've managed to side load ExpressVPN onto fire stick via Android 4&5 APK, however after I'm connected to the VPN and then try to watch Amazon Prime, the Stick loses the internet connection. Any way to work around this? WiFi connections indicate "connected with problems".
Hey everyone,
I have a small Android TV box (VONTAR X96) I bought from AliExpress, connected via WiFi to a TP-Link TL-WR741ND router.
When the TV box powers on, and connects to the router, I get a message under the network name: "Connected. No Internet.", meaning of course I cannot browse or get any other information from the internet.
Whenever this happens, after a few seconds all other devices in the house (phones, tablets etc.) are suffering from the exact same problem, except for a PC which is connected to the router via Ethernet.
The only temporary solution to this is connecting the TV box to the router via WPS. After a few seconds the message changes simply to "Connected", and the block is lifted from every device. Several hours later the problem returns, and I have to go through this procedure again.
I tried assigning static IPs to the TV box but this did not change anything. I also tried using an external USB WiFi stick, presumably to bypass the internal WiFi chip (don't know if this actually worked), but no dice.
Anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks a lot for helping!
