Vodafone IPTV XR500.
Hi, has anyone managed to get the XR500 working for IPTV? I have replaced my ISP router with the XR500. Internet is working with Vlan10 but I can't get the Vodafone IPTV working.
In WAN Settings toggle IGMP Proxying and see if that helps at all.
No good. Tried that earlier. I was looking at some posts on here from 2018 and I tried everything they had but no one seemed to have it figured for the xr500. Was hoping there had been a firmware upgrade to take care of this since.
- Do you know if they require the use of their hub to use IPTV? If you disable QoS entirely does it work?
Also tried disabling 6ths QoS. No good
I found this on another platform.
it's for the ASUS RT-AC68U. This worked for Vodafone/Siro which is what I have.
Log into the router.
Left hand side click WAN

UDP Proxy (Udpxy) 0I found this on the XR500 blocking iptv service thread here from 2019. I was hoping there was a firmware upgrade since to correct it?
I could not watch IPTV (Vodafone Spain) with XR500 and XR700, all attempts for iptv and ip voice with the valid configuration were a failure. The only thing that works by setting the operator's VLAN / Bridge was the internet connection.
I think it's a firmware problem, the configuration for operators IPTV in manual mode is basic.
I have an Asus RT-AX88U configured and working IPTV, internet data and IP voice for vodafone TV Spain and in less than 10 minutes everything was working perfectly ....... with XR500 and XR700 I was losing more than 10 hours and only I run data from the internet in the ports and in the deco but nothing from IPTV channels and IP voice.
I would like to put the Netgear as the main one but I can't do without TV and phone calls ... for the moment my main router is Asus.- There isn't any profiles you could select for this unfortunately. TimChang could you take a look and see if there is a workaround or implement a profile perhaps?
