I have a problem with my cameras:
Gladys is connected via Ethernet to my ISP box
One of my cameras, for the moment, is connected to a Wi‑Fi router I just received (Wi‑Fi box that keeps disconnecting)
The two devices are therefore on two distinct networks: Gladys with a router at 192.168.1.1 and the camera with a router at 192.168.68.1
The stream is visible in VLC
When I try to integrate the camera I get an address that looks like (http://192.168.68.XX/65089a9..................../live/index.m3u8)
whereas for the others, on the box it’s more like: (http://192.168.1.XXX/a859f7810d....................../live/index.m3u8)
Is there a solution to my problem?
@gaetanb76 I created a new thread, it’s better 
What’s going on in Gladys? When you click « Tester » does the flow not show up?
I’m having trouble understanding the problem
Here are the 2 error messages :
An error occurred while obtaining the RTSP stream. Are you sure the provided URL is correct and accessible from the Gladys instance?
and
ffmpeg exited with code 1: http://192.168.68.XX/65089a9................../live/index.m3u8: Operation timed out
Timeout, that means Gladys can’t reach the camera ^^
The error message is clear anyway
Are you sure the URL provided is correct and accessible from Gladys?
Yes, I saw it.
I can see the video stream in VLC when I’m connected to the Wi‑Fi router.
I don’t see it when I’m connected to the box’s Ethernet network, like Gladys.
So it’s exactly what I thought — Gladys can’t access it.
I need to move Gladys to another router…
I think I’ll wait to receive a mini PC to redo everything from scratch.
It will take me time, but at least I’ll start again from a clean slate.
Is your Wi-Fi router different from your modem/router?
If so, then yes — it’s a different network
See if you can communicate between the two networks (probably), but the IP won’t be the same
If any network experts pass by here
Yes, as indicated here :

Is it intentional that your router is not on the same network as your ISP’s modem (box)? Or is it because you left it in its default configuration?
This is the initial configuration.
The problem I have with the box’s Wi‑Fi is that it’s not stable, and I can no longer set fixed IP addresses (a firmware bug that hasn’t been updated for several months).
So I bought TP-Link Deco mesh Wi‑Fi units.
While waiting to find the time to work on it, I kept the box’s Wi‑Fi active for my two other cameras that are connected to it and that work, except when the Wi‑Fi acts up.
In the end, there are several options:
-
Use the TP-Link Deco Wi‑Fi and keep the wired connection via powerline adapters (CPL) to the box for the PCs, TV, Domoticz and Gladys
-
Use one of the Ethernet ports on the main Deco and connect it to the powerline adapters (CPL)
I don’t know which is best. I haven’t thought about it much yet.
If I can use the same network as the box for everything, that would be great. But is that possible without being able to assign fixed IP addresses on the box?
I don’t know the TP‑Link system, but the idea would simply be to use those Wi‑Fi access points as repeaters for your box.
Is it possible to do that at your place: Comment configurer Deco pour qu'il fonctionne en mode Point d'Accès WiFi ? | TP-Link France ?
The catch is that you tell us you can’t set IP addresses, in other words the DHCP server on the box isn’t working, so you might need to consider something else: that your TP‑Link equipment itself be the DHCP server. You’d need to check the documentation to see if that’s possible.
If that’s the case, then:
You disable the DHCP server on your box and its Wi‑Fi network.
You connect your TP‑Link units to your box with RJ45 cables (either directly or via powerline adapters (PLC) — it doesn’t matter).
You turn on your TP‑Link devices and enable the DHCP server on the TP‑Link devices, configuring the network as your box was configured (just for convenience, you know), e.g. IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
You plug in all your devices and connect them to the Wi‑Fi.
From the TP‑Link app, you set fixed IP addresses for your devices.
They should all have addresses like 192.168.1.XXX and that should do it 
Thanks for all this information.
Yes, you can assign fixed IP addresses in the DHCP configuration. I did that for the camera that cannot stream to Gladys.
If I understood what you’re proposing, it’s to leave my devices connected by Wi‑Fi to the box untouched and to replace the Wi‑Fi router with the Deco.
The Deco is currently connected by cable to the box. Its IP address is dynamically assigned in the 192.168.1.XX range.
You suggest that I set it to a static IP: 192.168.1.1, and use it as the DHCP server and gateway.
I connect it (it has 3 Ethernet ports) to a powerline adapter (CPL) « master » unit.
I set the cameras in the DHCP, which logically should all be recognized
Yes, that’s the idea.
Actually, keep it simple:
You disable the Livebox DHCP server, you enable the Deco’s.
And first you connect with your smartphone to your Wi-Fi network (the Deco’s).
Then check in the TP-Link interface whether your phone appears and whether from there you can assign it a static IP.
If that’s the case you can connect everything according to your diagram, wait a few minutes (network changes sometimes take time to apply) and see if everything is ok
I’ll try to find the right config.
I tried it as an access point, but I lose the ability to set it as a DHCP server.
Yes, the link I sent you probably isn’t working since we assume the DHCP server on your Livebox isn’t working.
So you need to put your Decos in router mode
If I understand correctly your Wi‑Fi router is connected to your ISP’s modem/router via Ethernet and then rebroadcasts a more stable Wi‑Fi.
Except its network is therefore different, which prevents Gladys from accessing your cameras.
I suspect it’s doing NAT between the two.
See if you can connect it in bridge mode so that your ISP’s modem/router provides the DHCP settings to it.
If afterwards you want to give it a static IP, you can do so by assigning it in the DHCP using its MAC address.
After that it will act as
Thanks @Noj,
If I’m following you, the Deco will no longer be the DHCP server; the box will be.
The problem is that
The DHCP works but I can’t assign fixed IPs.
However, for the cameras, Domoticz, Gladys, they are needed.
I’ll check later (when I’m alone in the house so as not to make the same mess as yesterday 
but I don’t think it’ll be possible.
The 2 operating modes: https://www.tp-link.com/fr/support/faq/2399/
My box is a Livebox 5
I also abandoned the DHCP on the Livebox,
I found another solution :
I plugged an RJ45 port of the Deco into a powerline adapter (CPL) and Gladys into another powerline adapter (CPL).
The Deco app found Gladys and I assigned it a static IP.
I did the same for Domoticz.
And I set my cameras’ addresses on Wi-Fi.
They are visible in Gladys 
Thanks everyone for your help.

Great if everything works for you 
If I understand correctly, your TP-Link devices are managing the DHCP server.
Yes, the main Deco is the DHCP server for wired and Wi‑Fi.
That’s cool.
I hope this will be stable and that there will be no more disconnections of my cameras.
