Need the proper switch for my IPTV setup
I have the current setup: - I connect to my ISP via fiber optic cable and a provided router - For IPTV a VLAN is created by the router and assigned to a single port (LAN4) - Lan 4 is connected to a FS105 switch - Two STBs are directly connected to switch This setup works perfectly - Add a third STB connected to the switch via a POWERLINE solution (TP-LINK) The powerline shows continuous activity and playback on the STB's stutters or freezes TP-LINK states that the switch continuously sending data to the POWERLINE and thereby using up bandwidth A user on the TP-LINK forum suggested that the setup would not work if the switch did not support MULTICAST and IGMP Snooping Question 1) Does this sound correct that MULTICAST/IGMP are required to get this setup working? Question 2) If so then which NETGEAR switch would be recommended to replace the FS105?Solved8.1KViews0likes4Comments
