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 AlexSolvedMulticast requests blocked ?
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 CinjuSolved5.7KViews0likes6Comments
