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...
I did at one point try to set my Orbi up with VLAN but couldn´t get it to work. I have no idea of which VLAN ID or priority to use. Later, I discovered that the ISP router is not set up with VLAN. See additional info I scanned from the ISP router settings (while not connected to the Internet). My IPTV set up box (STB) uses ethernet only connection (no wifi).

Thanks for sharing the router configuration. You are right, it seems that there is no VLAN configiration in the router.
Can you please check the network settings in the IPTV STB. Isn't there any VLAN or IGMP settings?
Just to clarify to the questions above, the Norwegian (and most Swedish/Danish that I have tested) ISP's are running clean IGMP Snooping in blocking with no VLAN tagging what so ever. This is by far the simplest way to run it aswell. (some older PPP xDSL solutions might need it doh)
Should think this would be an easy addon to the already existing SW running on the ORBI's?
Most of the large ISP's in Norway (where I live), never use any VLAN tagging. This has been testet on several different models, I even tested this before writing this post to make sure nothing was changed. Asus RT router, simply by enabling IGMP proxy and snooping and the TV works on all LAN ports. Tested this with two different ISP's, both works fine. No VLAN tagging or other changes was made.
I checked the STB (ADB-5743CDX) but couldn’t see any VLAN og IGMP settings there at all. There was something described as MHP-profile=Enhanced Broadcast but I have no idea what that is.
Yeah they are what u can call dumb stbs, it's a good thing in a way that the CPE will sort everything, but then when u get a CPE withouth the settins, u are kinda stuck. Never seen a norwegian STB with vlan tagging in the box.
Thanks, ProZac, I think you hit the nail on the head here.
No VLAN tagging - only IGMP proxy and snooping (blocking mode).
I definitely hope NG updates the RBR50 firmware soon.
Wouldn’t think NG wants to lag behind others here.
In the meantime, I have set up the ISP router in bridge mode, deactivated DHCP and connected it to my RBR50 router. I can then keep my home network as before but connect the TV to the ISP router.
However, it forces me to use the ISP router which I want to avoid.
Hi, I am landing here through the search engine, I have a bluesound streaming multi room devices, and I have some struggle to have constant quality. I raised the concern with Bluesound and the suggest me to make some changes in the my orbi config.
- IGMP snooping should be on (as it groups the device broadcasting multicast traffic with ...).
- Also Multicast should be on
QOS and WMM shoud be fully disabled.
Wireless band steering should be fully disable
Wireless isolation should be fully disable
I only manage to disable WMM but do not know how to for IGMP, Multticast, band steering and wireless isolation.
Any chance to get some helps from you ?
Thanks
olivier
