ReadyNAS / R6200 in bridge / D6300 wifi router DLNA issue
I have a readyNAS connected via LAN to a R6200 in bridge mode connected to the D6300 over wireless.
The DLNA server is not visible to devices over the wifi..
The only way i can see the NAS on my network as a DLNA device is to physically connect my viewing device (xbox, computer etc) to the R6200 LAN port and then the DLNA server shows up.
It doesn't show up any other way..
I can see the IP and access the NAS drives to copy files etc. over wifi.
I can login through internet browser to access the device.
It doesn't show up as a DLNA device on my TV, xbox etc over wifi.
The D6300 DLNA server shows up fine but not the ReadyNAS.
What do i need to do or what ports may be closed and blocking the DLNA server through the D6300 ?
This is quite frustrating as the computer sees it as a storage device through the wireless network but not as a DLNA server.
Any suggestions would be great.

- More than likely the broadcast discovery packets are not getting through the bridged connection. I'm not sure if there is an easy workaround for that.
BTW, Netgear doesn't list a D6300 in their product list. Did you mean R6300?
