Please Support both multicast IPTV and unicast traffic to the same wired port on R7000

Hi,

 

I have been recently trying to setup my Nighthawk R7000 to receive Internet and Multicast IPTV services, using VLAN ID's or VLAN Bridge Mode to no avail.

I can either receive Internet or Multicast, but not both at the same time !

 

My ISP is Plusnet, and currently the only way I can watch Plusnet TV is to use their own Sagemcom router.

This is an inferior router to the R7000, poor WiFi and 100 Meg LAN Ports. But it can supply IPTV, which the R7000 can't.

 

Please update the firmware to support IPTV multicast and unicast internet on the same LAN Port, so that Plusnet customers can again use their R7000 as the main router.

 

Thanks,

 

Garry
