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...
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.
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
