BT Vision (UK IPTV / Internet) - Multicast + Unicast on same wired port??

Hi Elaine... knowing my top of the range netgear can do what my old BT Home hub can do is very disappointing. Do you have an ETA for this feature?
Thanks Wayne.

    I agree with this. My router is an R7000, but having the same issue. These routers are high end and an such should have high end support. BT vision has been available for some time, so there should have been plenty of time the nighthawk routers to be updated to work as replacement for the stock routers.

      Hi Wayne,

       

      Unfortunately, we do not have an ETA for this. However, I highly recommend you post this as an Idea in this board to get more attention.

       

      Regards,

        It has now been several months since the future fw was promised. And the feature has been deployed to other routers...

         

        When is this going to be rolled out to the R8000?
