Issues with VOD on TV Devices
Not sure how to explain it properly because english is not my main language
I installed the XR500 a month ago using my old modem/router as a bridge and everything works great - i got a PC connected with LAN cable and plenty of wifi devices..
I also have a Digital TV converter from a streaming company in my country and they work with Settelite for channels
but they also have a VOD service that requires an internet connection to work..
and for some reason when pluggin the XR500 to that TV converter(we have 3 of them) the VOD service not working
sometimes it just not loading pictures and sometimes you cant order movies and so on..
I got 2 TV tech guys here and both said its the Router and some "setting" block it from working properly because if i plug my old modem/router everything works fine.. - I told them it's seems wrong because internet is working flawlessy and if i plug a PC or any other devices they all work great so why they blame the XR500?
Anyway - b4 making my move and transfer to another company.. i wonder- are there any settings that can actually cause problems with the VOD service that i mentioned? anything worth changing just for the test?
thanks

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerFirstly your English is great, thanks for being clear and concise. Please go to Settings > Setup > WAN Settings. Make sure that Disable SIP ALG is ticked and that Disable IGMP Proxying is UNticked. Then apply and reboot the router, does it work properly after that?
Hey,
Tried that but still no luck :\
- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerCan't see the picture as it hasn't been moderated. Disable QoS in the Anti-Bufferbloat menu and see if that makes it work.
