Re: Virgin Media TV home screen not loading thumbnails - Nighthawk XR1000

Hi All
I hope someone knowledgable can help!?
Yesterday i took the plunge and installed a Nighthawk XR1000, everything seems to have connected to it fine and I am now getting to grips with the DumaOS.
The one issue i now have is with the Virgin Media home screen, the thumbnails have stopped loading/displaying images, instead replaced by the descriptive text, same with the app icons like Netflix. I imagine i cant be the only person this has affected with a Nighthawk/VM setup, please can anyone share what i need to change in the DumaOS so that the VM allows the images to load?
I have done some searching on this and only found answers like 'the router must be using VM DNS' and 'the router must be set to DHCP / Automatic WAN IP' but ill be honest this doesnt mean much to me and i couldnt see anything obvious in the DumaOS that linked to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! @Netduma-Fraser hope you or another expert can help?!
Thanks

How are you actually connected?
What modem/gateway is the XR1000 connected to?
And is the "home screen" through one of virgin's streamers/media boxes?

Hi!
The Virgin Superhub 3 is in modem mode, XR1000 connected to that via ethernet, Virgin Media Tivo box connected to XR1000 by ethernet also.
The Virgin box is happily connected and i can watch on demand for example, however the thumbnails dont load the images, same for the app icons.

You might need to setup a vlan tag on your device.
I know this was for a nighthawk but I believe the XR450 supports vlan setup.

It will be using those settings automatically so not need to worry about that. Toggle IGMP Proxying in WAN Settings, then see if it works please
Happy new year @Netduma-Fraser
Just an update on my issue.. Toggling the IGMP did initially solve the problem, but only for a day?! The issue has come back and remained since then.
Do you have any other solutions i can try please?

Happy New Year! Interesting, I had the same hub and I found the modem mode to be a bit finicky, put it back into router mode then copy the WAN IP from the XR System Information page and put it in the VM DMZ. Then see if the issue is resolved please.
Thanks @Netduma-Fraser
Ive done that and it has worked, hopefully it remains this time! 🙂
We do sometimes get power cuts here, will this affect what ive just done? i.e. the XR1000 be assigned a different IP address? I notice that the XR1000 has a completely different IP address anyway (on the system information page) once the superhub goes into modem mode.
Thanks again, itll keep the mrs from moaning at me for a bit 😄

So to combat it changing, take that same IP you put in the DMZ and make it reserved/static on the hub. That way the XR will always have that IP even after reboots/resets and the DMZ will always be valid.

That worked, but annoyingly restored everything to factory settings 😞
Thanks for your help 🙂
