I’m also having remote connection issues. I can connect to any other device on my LAN (Wyze cameras, ring, alarm system, etc). Connecting to my Reolink cameras (POE RLC-811, (4) E1 zooms, POE Trackmix, POE RLC-842a, (2) Argus 3 Pro, NVR) is hit or miss. Yesterday in the AM , I got “connection error” on every camera. Then later that day it worked…I could connect to all cameras. This morning I’m back to “connection error”. Again I can connect to any other device in my LAN using either WiFi (from outside the home) or cellular. I have exact same experience from my iPhone or my iPad. I also can not connect to my friends Reolink cameras (different house, State and internet provider) right now. Connecting to her cameras is also hit or miss. This leads me to believe it is a Reolink server issue….which also explains why so many people with different cameras and different client devices all have the same issue. Maybe Reolink needs an enhanced server network.

@joseph_1979 Wow....again great info. I'm no longer at the hotel but will try the DNS query next time. Or perhaps as you suggest, perhaps UDP is the issue. Either way, I appreciate the answers and troubleshooting info.

@joseph_1979
thanks this helps. But I think I almost came to the wrong conclusion. I was at a hotel earlier this week and turned off WiFi and I was able to get my Reolink cameras to connect. So I thought that the hotel was blocking p2p. However that can’t be true because Wyze and ring use p2p and they both worked over the hotel WiFi. So the p2p protocol does not seem to be the issue but maybe as you suggest the issue is the p2p servers that Reolink is using. But the servers shouldn’t have anyway of “knowing” whether I’m using WiFi or cellular. So I guess I still don’t understand why other cameras that rely on p2p work over the same hotel WiFi that Reolink does not. Or am I way off base with some of my points?

the Solar Panel (SP) 1 (3W) can't keep the Duo charged (dies after 3-4 weeks). Perhaps too much activity is killing it...and limited sun due to trees). I was going to replace the 3W Solar Panel with the new 6W solar Panel 2. But since I will have the two solar panels, I can buy a micro usb splitter and connect both the 3W (SP1) and 6W (SP2) to the camera. The voltage will be the same (~6V) but I will have more current (~1.5A) and thus more Watts (9W theoretically).
Q1: Anyone else have issues with keeping DUO charged with SP1?
Q2: Any reason why connecting two solar panels to one camera (with USB splitter) would NOT work?

Thanks

Up until today (my subscription ran out yesterday), I had the reolink classic storage plan and I was able to store video from Argus pro 3 storage to the cloud. I know they made some changes to the plans. Neither of the new plans list the Argus series in the list of supported devices. Before I renew, does the classic plan still support Argus Pro 3 cloud storage? Thanks
