FI8910W won't reconnect
Hello, recently purchased a white FI8910W.
Here is the main issue I am having:
After a power cycle, the camera will work perfectly fine via Wifi the first time I access it on a PC or an Android device. It will work all day just as intended. However, as soon as that first device loses the connection with the camera (if the PC goes into sleep mode, if I close the Android app, etc.) then I can no longer access the camera wirelessly in any way.
I am using a static IP plenty high in my range, and the router still sees the camera even though I can't get to it. After that initial disconnect, any attempt to access the camera using the same device or other devices (various PCs using different browsers, several different Android devices) simply results in connection errors.
I'm kind of at a loss since there is obviously no issue with the connection since the camera always works fine the first time - playing with security and other wireless settings does not seem to have any effect. Only a power cycle will allow me to connect to the camera again.
Is there something I could be missing here? Why can't I get the cam to be "ready" for a different device to access it once the first one drops?

Re: FI8910W won't reconnect
It seems the camera is disconnected from wireless router. Maybe try to change wireless channel on router to avoid channel conflict.E.g. change the channel to 1,6,11.
