Can't stream IPTV on Firestick
I have 3 RBK50's (router and extenders) that appear to be blocking my ability to stream IPTV on at least one of my TV's. I've read similar posts and responses but the solutions do not seem to resolve...

How did you determine that? Any error messages? Prompts?
More often than not these streaming issues boil down to the client on the receiving end. Many so-called smart TVs are really very dumb.
What additional information do you need from me?
The usual boilerplate questions./
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
Sorry, I didnt answer your previous question. My modem is NOT a router as well.
