- SurffaDec 27, 2020ApprenticeIn fact I'm quite familiar with PPP protocol with bells and whistles alone, but I'm a bit puzzled what is the thing with IGMP (and VDSL specifics) here. Does this mean that that not all the traffic over the VDSL lines is encapsulated, but just some authentication data?
And then of course the IPTV content apparently should as well, but Orbi is not doing that(?)

Maybe even Netgear could make German Telekom IPTV finally work as well if here's something. Looks like there are other people out there hoping Orbis to work with it.- FURRYe38Dec 27, 2020Guru - Experienced User
Something to ask your ISP and NG support about then.
