Using Netgear Nighthawk R8000 router with BT (Vision) YouView

I've been trying to get BT YouView / BT Vision working with my Netgear Nighthawk R8000 router but can't seem to get it to work.

 

There is a community post that mentions it is possible to get this to work here:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/BT-Vision-UK-IPTV-Internet-Multicast-Unicast...

 

I have tried making sure that the "Disable IGMP Proxying" is unticked and rebooted the router and YouView box but this didn't work.

The post suggests that there was a trial firmware to do this but that firmware doesn't seem to be available on the link specified.

 

Is it possible to get this working?

 

Thanks

 

Firmware Version: V1.0.3.4_1.1.2

Model: R8000|Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Smart WIFI Router

Hi, 

This is working for me now using the settings:

 

"Disable IGMP Proxying" -> Unticked

   " " -> Ticked

 

There is a minor issue with the display of the checkbox under the Disable IGMP Proxying in that it doesn't have any text or description.

Other than that it all seems fine.

 

Thanks for your help and quick response.

@aeb59 That's also been noted and will be fix on the next official firmware release. 

Glad to hear that's working!
