strodoggydog Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Is the router multicast enabled? Apparently my new tv service requires this. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted October 30, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi strodoggydog Well you can enable multicast snooping in the settings which is probs what you need as this settings is used for media players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strodoggydog Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 sorry to bump this again,but I am at somewhat of a loss. my new plusnet iptv service only works when i connect directly to the router they have provided. i have tried toggling mulitcast snooping setting. from using the search in this forum, i see the current solution is to run the iptv service through the plusnet router,and everything else connects to the netduma. so assuming this is what I should set up: modem-plusnet router - iptv box - netduma - everything else i have some questions. 1. do i connect to the WAN or a LAN port on the netduma? I assume it is the WAN 2. The next point is where I think I am stuck between a rock and a hard place - the plusnet router (link here) has a very basic UI which does not allow me to put in the WAN of the n'duma (which recognises i am connected to another router) into the DMZ setting. It only allows you to select a currently connected device, none of which is the netduma, 3 assuming i could get this to work, would congestion control for all devices connected to net duma still be available, aside from IPTV usage of course? thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Strodoggydog The plusnet router connects to port one of the Netduma, everything else can connect to port 2, 3, 4 and 5. Are you sure the Duma isn't in that list. Could you try rebooting or factory reseting the plusnet router to see if it shows? Yes it would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strodoggydog Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks Crossy. Much appreciated. I'll have a look at point 2 again. It was looking dodgy since p'net router can allocate any address from 1-253. I was worried about a conflict since there was no static IP or dhcp setting. The p'net router has a hidden GUI (only discovered from p'net forums) which means I can now reserve the IP used by R1. However still no static IP DMZ. Hopefully, rebooting/resetting p'net router will allow it to show in h'ware setting. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strodoggydog Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 BTW - does n'duma automatically disable its DHCP, and reconfigure its LAN IP when discovering an upstream router? If so, that is mighty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2015 For DMZ does it take a MAC address rather than an IP? If so the duma begins 4E or something to that effect I believe. No it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strodoggydog Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 having thought about the matter further, I think any solution which uses the weak link of a "free" ISP router is far from ideal. I am going to buy a fibre modem/router combo (which has IGMP support, and confirmed as compatible with p'net tv), and put the netduma downstream for connecting everything else. I suspect that connecting the STB to the n'duma will not work (i will of course try) and could cause problems for the congestion control as it does not account for STB's BW. In such a case, should I lower the netduma download bw by ~20mb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yes it would not be able to work correctly if not everything is connected through the R1. You could try this though I have doubts on if it would work or not, but it's worth a try. If there is enough demand we will to implement IPTV support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strodoggydog Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks. I'll report back in any case. I understand that iptv IGMP protocol is so niche and is not an essential feature, hence my surprise it's even being considered. Awesome CS! if future hardware has it, I'll view that as a bonus cos I'd buy it anyway. There is just no way netduma is leaving my set up. I am changing to iptv cos it's considerably cheaper than sky, but in a moment of frustration last night, I was even thinking of going back just to keep netduma involved. That's how highly I rate the product. Think with my proposed setup, netduma will still be running the show! This is an awesome forum btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 15, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 15, 2015 Awesome to hear that, thanks so much for the kind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strodoggydog Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 as anticipated, it only works when plugged into IGMP enabled router. However, running everything else through net duma (with a reduced bw setting to account for IPTV use which is ~ upto 7 Mbits per channel; in theory, I can record two channels and watch a third on demand, so I have set aside 20Mbits for this) gives me low ping games.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 19, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2015 Great to hear that, thanks for the update. I'll close the thread as the original question has been answered. We'll be sure to look into IPTV in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
