IGMP Snooping
Hi, in my home network, I have a 2018 Orbi RBR50 router and have set it up with IGMP Proxying. However, I cannot find a setting for IGMP Snooping. I understand that IGMP Snooping is necessary for eff...
Orbi does not support IGMP snooping. Only IGMP proxying on the WAN port is supported.
Why do you need IGMP snooping? Do you have devices that use IGMP multicasting which affects the performance of your LAN network, for which you want to use IGMP snooping?
My ISP provides routers (Zyxel) with IGMP Snooping enabled (Blocking Mode). It seems to be relevant with respect to trouble-free multicast transmissions for IPTV. I think it may be the only missing feature of the RBR50 to allow use without the ISP router. I hope Netgear will include this feature in their next FW release. My current FW is V2.2.1.210.
You will have to ask to see if it can be added.

Not alot of use for IGMP in most homes so maybe one reason why NG didn't add it ot the Orbi. Something to ask them about though.
