NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
My ISP provides routers (Zyxel) with IGMP Snooping enabled (Blocking Mode). It seems to be relevant with respect to trouble-free multicast transmissions for IPTV. I think it may be the only missing feature of the RBR50 to allow use without the ISP router. I hope Netgear will include this feature in their next FW release. My current FW is V2.2.1.210.

I'm in much the same position. I have several smart switches and employ IGMP snooping to facility TV transmission throughout my home. The lack of support on my Orbi routers (configured as APs) eliminates my use of ethernet backhaul capability, which was the principal reason I selected Orbi over other mesh routers.
Despite the recent HomeKit fixes in V2.5.0.38 it still does not seem to work properly. :(
