I stumbled across this thread and I wonder if the symptoms fit the problem, i.e. lack of multicast support?
I’ve noticed when setting IoT devices such as Nanoleaf Canvas lights, LIFX lights, Nest Cameras etc, the WLAN is serverly disrupted. All other devices seem to struggle to get to the internet. Is this what IGMP snooping would help alleviate?
During these periods where the WLAN is almost halted the internet remains connected and is appears to be ok (I have a Fing box connected to help monitoring)
RBR40 in Router mode
IGMP proxying not enabled for WAN side as issue is not there
FW: 2.2.1.210

Nest Cam timeline (darker grey indicates camera could not connect to internet)
Fing box monitoring of internet connectivity showing no issues for same period

IGMP is used for one-to-many networking applications such as online streaming video and gaming, and I don't think that the devices you mentioned belong to this category.
