: Multicast on WZR-AGL300NH?
: Vaesto February 05, 2009, 02:41:42 PM
   

Hi everyone,

 

Does this router support multicast? I need it for IPTV and seems like it is not working neither on wire nor via wireless. If I connect PC to WAN network directly - everything O.K.

 

If it IS supported then help me to configure/enable it, please.

 

P.S. Multicast is se to "Auto" in Wireless advanced settings for both G and A bands. Snooping is also enabled in Multicast Control tab.

P.P.S. Exact model: WZR-AGL300NH Ver.1.50 (R6.15/B1.05)

V.

Flash the firmware on the unit to the latest version, then set the router back to factory defaults.

Hi Paul,

 

Thanks. Of course I'd do that already. The only "BUT" - there seems to be no newer version than 1.50 for this model yet. Or am I missing some "hidden' Buffalo resources? Please wrie down a link then...

 

Regards,

Vaesto.

Hi again,

 

Looks like entire multicast IP group (224.x.x.x. - 239.x.x.x.) is baned in the firewall/NAT in the current FW (1.50). Any attempt to ping, make a route or forward to/from these addresses leads to:

 

ERROR: Destination Address
description: Multicast address (224.XXX.XXX.XXX to 239.XXX.XXX.XXX) cannot be used

 

And no option to control  this behavior :robotsad:

 

Is there any wishlist for upcomming FW releases?

 

Vaesto

Vaesto, our subsideries in Japan do not have anything to do with us. If they release a firmware it is ported over to us as quickly as possible. Please bear with us we're doing everything we can to solve this problem :)
