Airplay over the Nighthawk mesh 6 system
Is there any plans to fix the issue of not being able to use airplay with or should I be shopping for a new router system. Would like to be able to use airplay to cast to my TV. If there is no pla...
I've had the system for about a week - have been chasing a few issues, like connecing an AirPort Express to the Wifi (connects fine) but then it won't pass ethernet out to a wired client - it's like the Netgear won't give out IP addresses this way. Anyway, I've just discovered AirPlay isn't working at all. It must be blocking the required ports? I'll try and see if they can be opened somehow, should be open by default, and try an earlier firmware, i've head .98 might be good. Failing that I'm returning this system later today! No excuse to not fully support Apple devices. Pretty disapointed, have been happy with the speed otherwise.
Tried older firmware. Tried a bunch of settings. No dice. It’s definitely filtering out required airplay / bonjour data from the network. Useless. Can’t handoff playing audio to HomePod via proximity tap. Can manually Airplay photos or movies or mirror to any of the Apple TV’s we have. Returning it now. A pity, as the speed was good for the most part.
