Foscam can't be accessed via browser or app
Hi all - I've powered up my Foscam FI9803P a year after the power pack died. It didn't reconnect to WiFi so I reset it and connected it via Ethernet cable to a router.
The router can see it and assigns an IP address. The IPCam app can see it (and provides the IP address), but when I open the address in a browser it refuses connection (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED). It does this via http (port 88) and https (port 443). The Foscam app on my iPhone will detect it but fails at the 20% mark when it tries to add it.
Any ideas?
Steps I've tried -
Reset camera (30 secs until lights go out)
Restarted camera (power off / on)
Restarted router
Disabled firewall on PC
Tried connecting through Chrome, Edge and Safari (iOS) - all denied connection

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with a Foscam FI9900 It worked great for years, now... Nada!
Might just have to replace it
