Orbi cant get my IPTV to work?
Hi, I just bought a pair of Orbi. My problem is that I cant get my IPTV to work. My provider is Telia. Today Im using an ASUS RT-AC66U router and it works fine if I configure it with the function "LAN-IPTV (manual settings) Lan Port=3, VID=865, PRIO=0. I have tried the "VLAN/IPTV" settings on my Orbi and also enable/disable IGMP-Proxy but with no success. I hope that you can help me with this so I dont have to return this product because I love the speed and coverage. BR Tony

Orbi useless for IPTV (no multicast/IGMPV3)???
Hi everyone, I just installed my new Orbi System (also ran the firmware update, currently 1.4.0.18) with 1 satellite and everything seemed to run pretty smoothly. That was until I switched on my TV... It´s an IP-TV system (Telekom Entertain in Germany) and after five seconds of running the screen freezes. The media receiver is connected to the Orbi satellite via LAN cable. People with far more networking knowledge than myself told me that my router probably doesn´t support multicast, which is needed for IPTV. Can this be true??? I buy a €400+ WiFi system to get all my networking issues sorted out and it is no use for IPTV? Please, someone tell me what to do (other than throwing my Orbi into the trashcan...) Thanks Alex

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?
