Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 Multicast Issues
I am having issues connecting to a named local address via WiFi however I am able to connect when the device is connected via Ethernet.
example:
```
ssh root@something.local
```
I am able to connect to the WiFI IP directly
example:
```
ssh root@192.......
```
I believe this is related to multicasting not working? I un-checked "Disable IGMP Proxying" however it still can't seem to connect.
This may have been an issue on my end. apologies...

Which Netgear device are we talking about here?
And the usual boilerplate questions to rule out the frequently troublesome issues.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.Get those out of the way and you can move on to your specific issues.
Totally fair I will try to answer below, I am a total newb when it comes to network stuff:
Device: MR60
Firmware Version: V1.1.7.134_2.0.65
Modem: Nighthawk CM1200
I have the MR60 plugged into the first port.This may have been an issue on my end. apologies...
