Hi,

 

I am also having exactly the same problem with my Nighthawk R7000.

 

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.

Thanks,

 

Garry
