Hi.

 

1. Firmware

I've upgraded firmware 1.1.6.122 to latest 1.1.7.132 and it's still not working.

 

2. Shutdown MSs

Same. The phone cannot reach to Speakers

 

3. Airplay also not working

I found iPhone XS AirPlay also shows same symptom; not working in MR, but works well as the image depics.

 

I think MR blocks device-to-device communication. hmm. I couldn't found but is there any configuration related to allow/block between connected devices in MR station? I'm not using Access Control nor DMZ.

I resolved by this thread; https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Wi-Fi-6-AX-Mesh/MR60-Mesh-and-Chromecast/m-p/2168338/highlight/true#M3851

 

settings/advanced/advanced setup/wireless settings - and then uncheck the "Enable AX" box. Then i went thru and was able to connect all (3) of my chromecast devices - SUCCESS FINALLY !!!

 

The referenced thread shows two solutions; (1) uncheck "Disable IGMP" and (2) uncheck "Enable AX"

 

The first one does not resolve the issue, but second works!!!!
