i have two camera DVRs connected by ethernet to a repeater. however sometimes we can't access the DVRs remotely so i have to call someone on site to reboot the repeater and then i can connect to eh DVR. everytime i go to the site to try to see if i can figure out what's wrong, the repeater goes back to working again. i've noticed that whenever i log onto the wifi signal from the repeater, it'll give it "life" again and allow the DVRs to accessible.

i thought it was the repeater crapping once in a while (few times a day!) but laptops never have any problems connecting to it, the DVRs are always working. kinda stumped on this.
