 Dear Gentleman,
 I readlot of posts regarding this problem with dcs-825l, and I am sorry but  I did not manage to fix my problem using the forum posts.
 I bought a brand new dcs-825l, and something went wrong while a first tried to finish connecting it to a mobile application and start using the camera.
 I tried to reset it for a couple times, switch on and off, but It only blinks solid red and network doesn't work, I saw that a firwire should be done, but i don`t know how to do that, I saw one instruction where it says I should connect camera and pc with a Ethernet cable, bt where can I switch this cable into camera?
 I am little confused, I am not a programmer or etc but I know much more than basic things, please, please if you have any solution for us write.
 Thanks a lot and all the best to everyone.

 Sorry for not answering right away, I only saw the first question regarding the region.
 I hope that here are all the answers.
 
 Once again I repeat camera is not sending any network at all.
 Thank You infront for your help, we are desperate without this camera.

				What wireless mode are you using on the main host router? Mixed? 
 I would try setting single mode N if you can and then set WPA2 only with AES on channel 11.
 
 Do a factory reset and see if you can get the 825L connected to the router. Walk thru the set up with the most current software available for your region.

				Thanks for advice. 
 I can easily change settings as You wrote, but still I can not get camera to work so I could get access to it. I tried to reset it by holding the reset button for 10-20sec, and holding it together with the power button, with this last I jst got the light change from solid red to green, but network is still dead?
 Do You have any other way to reset the camera?

				I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
 Let us know how it goes please.
