Multicast requests blocked ?

[Cinju]

We have this WNR614 router being setup to connect few HP wireless printers for printing from Mobiles .But non of the HP printers would list in mobile . The same scenario worked with other brand routers. Interesting point is that canon wireless printers does get listed. When checked with Wireshark for monitoring traffic it was found that MDNS traffic (Multicast) was getting blocked. Is there a way to enable Multicast traffic in this router or is it some sort of a bug ? There are not much options in the advanced page too. The router is running the latest firmware . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks in Advance

Try to use a different firmware or downgrade it. 

If the same thing happens, perhaps a newer router will work.

Hi @Cinju

Welcome to the community!

See if unchecking "Disable IGMP Proxying" will help under Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup
