Problem accessing DLNA server from satellite

Hello all,

 

I have a very similar issue to the one describe in this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Problem-accessing-NAS-DLNA-from-the-satelite/m-p/1756357

 

My confiruration is:

Orbi Router SRR60 running V2.7.2.102 firmware.

Orbi Satellite SRS60 running V2.7.2.102 firmware.

LG TV wired to router.

 

When a DLNA server in running on a PC wired to the router, the TV detects it immediatelly, when the same PC is wired to the satellite, the TV can't detect the DLNA server.

I've tried it with multiple DLNA servers sych as miniDLNA and Universal Media Server.

 

I have tried full factory reset, and the same issue occured.

DHCP or fixed IP makes no difference.

Enabeling/disabeling Daisy Chain makes no difference.

 

I never had that issue with my old non-mesh router + Wifi Extender (Netgear EX6150) configuration.

Does anyone have any suggestion?

 

Thank you !

    Is there a switch in the network?

    How is the satellite connected to the router? (Ethernet or WiFi)?

      No switch in the network.
      Satellite is connected via WiFi.

        Does your system have a setting for WiFi MultiMedia?

         

  • I'd been having a similar problem to this with my NAS not showing up as an available device on my smart TV and have just found that if I up the hops setting in my Orbi's uPNP settings it seems to have solved the problem. I changed the hops from 4 (default) to 20 (arbitrary higher number) and the NAS instantly appeared.
