BR500 routers and IPTV with lagging picture (Telekom) - reposted
I used to run a speedport Smart Router with Telekom Media Recivers (1x 401, 3x 201), not many specific options around but working fine. Now using the Speedport as DSL Modem -> BR500 -> GS728 ...

Not sure if dedicated ports need to be activated for snooping or multicast routing
What might work is a config like this https://kb.netgear.com/000059623/How-do-I-configure-my-Nighthawk-router-to-support-Deutsche-Telekom-Internet-and-IPTV-services - you map the IPTV VLAN to a single port - at the cost that you can't configure VLANs on the LAN side.
This port can be connected direct to the IPTV boxe(s) or to a dedicated VLAN on the switch.
Lot of trial and error I'm afraid - as the BR500 is ways off from being business ready.
I've tried several times according to that description already, see my port 4. Created a LAN with DHCP on this port and pluged the Mediea Receiver directly but doesn't retreive an IP adress.
The community is full of Multicast stories on other Netgear routers, so Netgear should be aware of those issues and wondering if experts can give a direction where to look at. Hotline hasn't been able to solve since 4 weeks.
Having activated snooping on GS728 (see screenshots) has technically improved a little. Instead of freezing after 5 sec, TV remains sometimes for a minute with hickups or no tone when runing just one MR. But that is still far from being solved.
