After:

mjpg_streamer -b -i "input_uvc.so -r 320x240 -f 5" -o "output_http.so -p 3000 -w /opt/share/www/webcam -c DeSiReDUsErNaMe:DeSiReDPaSsWoRd"

If you want to access the webcam from wan, we have to add the next  rule to firewall-start scripts for opening port 3000

Add this lines

#!/bin/sh
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 3000 -j ACCEPT

• Save with CTRL-O / Enter / and exit with CTRL-X

Start mjpg server

Now just type your_wan_ip adress:3000/stream_simple.html in browser and should see your webcam
If you have dynamic ip, better set a dynamic dns 192.168.1.1/Advanced_ASUSDDNS_Content.asp
