Mac: No Bonjour over XAV101

Hello,

it seems that the Bonjour or some related stuff is broken using the XAV101.
My server is connected to my network using two XAV101. Since installing them I am not able to see my music library in iTunes or stream other media (eg. using plex).

Is there a fix for that?

  • I ran xav101 and 1004 where airport express hook to 1004 and seems working as iphone and other do seems to see it. :)
  • I can confirm that at least with the XAV101 V2 versions, mDNS does NOT work. I have them on either end connected to a DLINK router, with a Kodak printer attached.

    I am unable to see the printer which uses Bonjour for Windows.
  • I can confirm this is an issue as well. I have found that resetting both devices (XAVB101 in my case) restores bonjour functionality temporarily. It seems that heavy traffic (like a Time Machine backup) causes the XAVB101 to start dropping multicast packets. This problem persists even after the heavy traffic load is gone.
  • Hello,

    Has this issue been solved somehow? I am still facing the same problem while running a Time Machine backup ...

    Thanks and best regards,
    André
