Orbi RBK50: Any way to enable IGMP Snooping?

Hi All,

 

Have recently gotten the Orbi as it solved both a wirless issue as well as having enough ethernet ports near my Home Theatre PC. Issue I have is Multicast traffic which is absolutely smashing my Orbi's and ultimately anything connected to them comes to a grinding halt eventually.

 

I need to get IGMP Snooping enabled to get this traffic under control. I am using the Orbi in AP mode as they are sitting behind a PFSense firewall. Are the Orbi's capable of IGMP Snooping? If not, is this possible to get implented? If not I'll likely have to return my Orbi and get a single advanced wireless router that does support IGMP snooping (or VLANs) and hope the coverage will be good enough.

 

Thanks
