Probelm with XR500 and IPTV
Hello, there, I`ve a problem with my router. I have the neweset firmware installed. The problem is, that it takes sometimes 10 seconds to open the IPTV channel. If the Set-Top-Box is connected with m...
That's very peculiar, remove that then and in WAN Settings set NAT to Open and retry please
Not sure since I don't have an XR500 but on the other nighthawks, you can configure vlan settings for iptv.
Might check that.
I woöö test that.
What modem do you have?
- Set a Traffic Prioritization rule for the box, source 1-65535 / destination 1-65535 / protocol TCP/UDP and that will fast track it, see if it works faster then please
- Hello, I have a Vodafone Station.
- O.K., I will do that Bit WE should forget network security.
First, sorry, sometimes i write with my smartphone and there is a "automatic correction" - i live in Germany and not every word is correct at the end (beause of automatic correction.)
'I did a rule für the set top box with port 1 - 65535 (source and destination) and aI allowed verything. I test it now.
Edit: I did that unter "Traffic Controller" --> Traffic Rules --> Add Rule"
- Sorry, it doesn't work. I don't know why. I'm NOT a troll!!!! REALLY!! This can't be...
- You can try that - it depends what the rule you tried before was but I meant for Traffic Prioritization on the QoS page
Oh, sorry, test it now.
The rule in itsel it works (but i the false option), i blocked all, than the stb couldn`t go online.
Edit: Shall I "normal", "Video" or "game" choose? Apply to WAN?
Edit: It doesn`t work...
- You wouldn't do block you would do allow all, try that instead.
To test whether DumaOS is doing it, switch the router mode in settings to AP mode then check please - Yes, that is logical, I wanted only test If the rule works itself.
I will test that in the afternoon. Thank you! - Helloy, that did not work, I had no Connection because the Vodafone Station is only set as a "Modem" and not as a router because of "Double-NAT". I have devices which should be accessible from outside - so the VF Station has to be configured as a "modem" .
- You don't need to set it in modem mode, you can put it in router mode then put the XR WAN IP in its DMZ and that will resolve the NAT issue
- Sorry, I can't follow you. What do you mean with
"You don't need to set it in modem mode"?
What I don't set in modem mode? Do you mean "router mode? - You said the Vodafone Station is in modem mode, you can put that in router mode then put the XR WAN IP in the Vodafone DMZ and that will allow you to have an Open NAT. You can then see if you have the same issue and if you do then you can try putting the XR in AP mode to see if it still happens.
- O.K., I got you. But WAN IP in DMZ ist insecure (for langer time).
In this case there is no security risk. The XR has it's own firewall, if you DMZ'd a device without a firewall or any security measures, that could be insecure.
- Yes, but normally you should do that. But we Test it. I'll give you a fredback 👍
