RBR850 IGMP Proxying V2
I bought RBK852 but I lost watching my IPTV, since my provider is using IGMP Proxying V2.
Could you please add the option to choose IGMP Proxying v2 and v3 ..etc? since Auto doesn't work.

Hello,
I did that, they keep sending me something not related to the missing option.
RBR50 has option for IGMP v2, and RBR850 doesn't have it.
You have both routers and you can see that yourself.
Here is their response.
Case #: 43140414
Please access the orbilogin.net
If prompted for the username and password:
• Username: admin (All in lower case)
• Password: If you are using the and Orbi App use the Orbi App password to log in since it has the same password.
If no, try to use the default password which is the password (All in lower case). If you create your own password, use your own password

View or change the following settings:
• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many others. Select this checkbox only in special circumstances.
• Default DMZ Server. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online games or videoconferencing, but it makes the firewall security less effective.
• Respond to Ping on Internet Port. This feature allows your router to be discovered. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool or if you have a specific reason.
• Disable IGMP Proxying. IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network (LAN) to receive the multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet.
If you do not need this feature, select this checkbox to disable it.
• MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your ISP connection.
• NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point
Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System applications, or multimedia applications from working. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet applications to work.
• Disable SIP ALG. The application-level gateway (ALG) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is enabled by default for enhanced address and port translation. However, some types of VoIP and video traffic might not work well when the SIP ALG is enabled. For this reason, the router provides the option to disable the SIP ALG.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.Something NG will have to look into. It's possible they may have set IGMP to work automatically now as well. Just a thought.
Good Luck.
