XR500 lag on IPTV
Hello everyone,
I'm facing an add issue on my brand new XR500. Configured IPTV on my Samsung MU8000 using SmartIPTV app but while swiping channels it takes anywhere between 10-15 secs & most of...
Is it possible there's something wrong with the app? The fact other channels work fine suggests this could be the reason.
If you connect your TV to your router or another modem, does the issue continue?
I just tried that and plugged back my old router (Asus DSL-N66U). No issues. Channels swap less than a second between each other. So definitely there is something wrong on the XR500 that's causing this behavior.
- Disable QoS in Anti-Bufferbloat options, does that resolve the issue?
- That's the first thing I did. But no vain. I upgraded to latest firmware ending 2.32 but no luck on it. I disabled and enabled all WAN settings one by one and restarted the router each time ran speed tests and then tried swapping channels but still the issue persists.
- Make sure IGMP snooping is enabled in WAN Settings, that may resolve it
