DLNA server not found from wifi devices on Access Point
My primary RAX50 is on one end of the house and the second RAX50 is in AP mode at the other end of the house connected via Ethernet cable. I run Servio DLNA on a computer connected to the Prmary rou...
Hi, this is my second answer:
I search around and saw at the release of the predecessor Firmware 1-0-12-120 the issue "
- Fixes the issue where multicast packet failed to forward between Wi-Fi and Ethernet clients."

I tested now by downgrading to this version: the problems encountered in my former post (and maybe connected to your problem) have gone.
My guess: maybe the solved issue in 1-0-12-120 has been reopened in V1.0.16.132
How is AP mode configured on the 2nd RAX in AP mode?
FW versions the same on both?
What should I be looking for configuration wise? All I did was set mode to AP. Didn't change anything else except SSID and password.
Ethernet cable from Primary router is plugged into Ethernet port on AP router (I tried plugging into Port 1 with no difference).
I also tried making the SSID the same as the Primary - no help.
Which configuration settings are involved?
Firmware levels the same:
AP router V1.0.16.132_2.0.92
Primary Router V1.0.16.132_2.0.92
Try setting a static IP address configuration on the 2nd AP?
WAN port should be connected from the 2nd AP to the LAN port on the 1st host router.
Other than this, shouldn't be any other configurations needed. Possible something isn't working to let the DLNA data pass thru the 2nd AP to connected devices. Might try a different router or AP system to check this.
Sorry, I should have mentioned I already have set fixed IP on the AP and I verified the Ethernet cable is plugged into the WAN port on the AP. Been trying lots of things from various forums.
Are there any settings on the Fire Stick networking setup I need to change? I have other devices connected via wifi to the same AP and they have the same problem. Devices connected via Ethernet cable (e.g., TV) do NOT have the problem.
