When will Orbi support multicast?

Any idea when Orbi will support multicast for IPTV? Currently YouView/BTTV won't work with Orbi in router mode. I saw a thread that had a post from Netgear Support on a German Amazon comments section...

I still can't get BT TV or any multicast stream to work. I have the BT TV wired directly to the Orbi router. I have unticked "Disable IGMP Proxying" and have ticked "Support British telecom IGMP Proxying". I've rebooted everything several times.

 

Anyone get this working?

Same here. Unchecked disable IGMP Proxying, unplug and reset my Marantz 8802A. Still no dice. Airplay still not active on the Marantz alone. Other Apple devices are on.

 

The only variant here is the Marantz is direct to router and the rest are on WIFI. It was working fine with Linksys before, but it stopped working since Orbi was online.

    I tried and it works. Only issue is that streaming live TV channels from BT is not flawless. Especially in 4k there are too many interruptions for watching a football game even when I see 50Mbs available on fast.com from my mobile phone.

      Are you are trying to stream 4K over WiFi? If so, you should really run an Ethernet wire to your TV.  4K video requires a lot of data and a stable connection, so it's not a great application for WiFi.

        yes I know but powerline didn't work so I thought let's give a go. It works but not enough stable. I should have put the BT plug at the correct place when I built the house...

    UPDATE: The issue is resolved. Now Airplay streaming, the Marantz is online and available. A happy camper now.
