IPTV Being Blocked
I actually have THe Orbi Router RBR20. It is connected to my ISP (local Coop). I also have the ONN android tv box and have been using it with the A1IPTV (nocable.cc) service for 6 months or so. I hav...
You set the vlans in the router.
did you read the article ?
I have the Orbi RBR20 and it has been working fine for a year or so. The other day my IPTV stopped working. I used my phone as a hotspot (using just cellular service) and connected my Onn Android TV box to it and the IPTV works (but is slow). If I switch back to my Orbi router, the IPTV does not work. Everything else works on the Onn box (YouTube, Netflix etc). I don't see anything in the log file that says anything is being blocked. I even factory reset my Orbi and that didn't help either. Using the command prompt I can ping the IPTV server (www.nocable.cc). Parental controls are off and my Netgear Armor is expired so that is off. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
What modem/gateway is the orbi connected to?
Does your isp need vlan's set for their iptv services?
What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
It is a Calix GigaPoint 803G with a fiber line coming into the house. I just want to point out that my actual system is a Orbi RBR20 and since I have narrowed it down to the router, I am concerned that if I buy another Netgear system that I will run into the same problem. I bought the Orbi because of the mesh capabilities and would prefer to not lose that. To recap, the IPTV was funning fine on my existing system for 8 or 9 months so nothing should have changed. I am using an Onn Android TV box and all the other apps on the box work fine. If I use my phone as a hotspot and connect my Onn box to that hotspot it works (using cell service as a source and not WiFi). I have the same ISP and TV box at my shop (different router but same fiber modem) on the other side of town (small town of 700 people) and that system works.
I really appreciate your help with this mess.
The other thing that confuses me is why this issue even happened in the first place and why can't I see why it is blocking the IPTV in the logs or somewhere else. I hate to buy a new router and have the same issue happen.
