NightHawk RAX200 and Movistar+ TV Device?

  • Router Netgear RAX200 connected to internet using a Movistar Askey HGU RFT3505VW. It is using an ethernet cable between ASKEY switch and RAX200 WAN.
  • Router RAX200 has IGMP Proxy enabled
  • Movistar+ device is Zyxel Nano 2112T, this model only permits ethernet connection that it is coneccted to RAX200 switch through a switch Netgear GS908 using a cable.It means: RAX200 -- > GS908 -- > Movistar+ TV device.
  • Netgear GS908 has IGMP Snooping enabled and it is no the cause of the problem.
  • Movistar+ TV device has access to internet because it is able to update its firmware, but you cannot see the TV
  • Movistar+ TV device requires IGMP Snooping enabled

 QUESTION

  • How should I config RAX200 without loosing its routing capabilities?

Re: NightHawk RAX200 and Movistar+ TV Device?

So you're wanting to cascade 2 routers and have everything work perfect with both in router mode. 

Not sure if you're going to get it. 

Cascading routers normally isn't that huge of an issue. But when your ISP's (moviestar) streaming service/device requires it to be connected to their gateway to work, it can be. 

You can try putting the netgears IP address into the Askey's DMZ. That *might* work. 

If if doesn't, then you'd be down to either putting the Askey in modem only/passthrough mode. Which might not let the Streamer work. 

Or you might need to put the RAX into access point mode. 

 

Its a problem of your Zyxel needing to connect to the Askey for streaming and you having a NAT router in between the 2 devices.
