Hadrien Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hello guys ! I have a strange issue with my Philips Hue bridge and my XR500. I'm not able to connect my phone to the bridge but I have access through the hue website... (So connection is ok) When I was in AP mode, everything worked fine but when I switched to Router mode, I get troubles and now I can't manage with my phone... I use Wifi 2,4GHz, I already deactivated beamforming, igmp proxying as I found this on Netgear forum before asking you :) No one have this problem ? Link phone to bridge with xr500 in router mode ? Thank you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 have you contacted their tech support or looked on their site to find out which port or range of ports your hue uses? You could try inputting the ip address of the hue that the XR500 assignes into the XR500 DMZ and see if it works then ( a reboot of the hue maybe required after this). This would indicate a port issue. I would assigne a static ip address to the hue beforehand. Netduma Alex and Hadrien 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't contact their support yet but already looked on their website/forum and I didn't find a solution... I assigned a static IP to the bridge too, but I will try the DMZ assignation. Thanks for this suggestion ! I will revert to you after testing. ---- I put it in DMZ but nothing happen Edited June 5, 2019 by Hadrien Edit after testing Netduma Alex and BIG__DOG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hello Big Dog ! After put it in DMZ, nothing more, I can't manage my bridge throught the LAN... Perhaps I can access via it IP but the "push link" button don't work (only in LAN via Internet it's working). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 You say your XR500 was in AP mode, was it behind another router and is it still?. There is some sort of port conflict going on which is why I suggested a DMZ as I know from checking that the HUE uses standard port 80 to access the internet. I suggest using UPnP and 1 router only unless you are familiar in vlans or know how to setup different subnets. Hadrien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 For the first configuration, the XR 500 was in AP Mode connected to another router (which provided DHCP, internet connection and all rules). After i was able to remove the old router to use exclusively XR500, so no conflicts and no subnets ^^ but Hue bridge don't work in local (only via Internet). I can access throught port 80 but can't link to my smartphone => i didn't find the port used by the connexion on documentations, with wireshark i will be able to find it i suppose... UPnP is activated with default settings. I'm still looking documentations to find a solution, as I'm not alone here ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2019 IGMP Proxying is disabled by default believe, I would actually recommend unticking this box and also ticking SIP ALG. Are you able to ping the bridge IP from a wired PC at all using command prompt and 'ping' then the IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hello Fraser ! Sorry for the delay to answer, now I have more time to test ^^ : IGMP : disabled SIP ALG : activated Ping : OK Not working more 😕 I'm still not able to connect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2019 IGMP should be unticked, SIP ALG should be ticked - is that what you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Yes Fraser ! (sorry i made the mistake in my previous post, but it was what you asked ^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thanks for clarifying! Could you disable QoS from the Anti-Bufferbloat options and see if that resolves the connection issue please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 I disabled it (not put on never but really disabled in the parameters) and nothing again 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2019 Is the bridge connected via ethernet? If possible could you connect it to the same WiFi as the phone e.g. 2.4GHz and see if when they're on the same that it works correctly please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 The bridge can only work in ethernet and I have the same issue in Ethernet... Perhaps, i also found that on UPnP settings, I have nothing showed on the portmap table (but everything work fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2019 UPnP is probably working but just not showing the ports. Which firmware version are you on - .40? Could you disable IPv6 also please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hello Fraser, To maybe help, here some screenshots about the configuration. I deactivated IPv6 long time ago Firmware : V2.3.2.40 (i didn't install the one for the drop out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 What about the Port Forwarding page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrien Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 I have only 2 port forwarding : 5000 for my Synology 32400 for Plex I tried to forward port 80, 443 and 8080 for the Hue bridge but nothing worked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I asked some of my colleagues and they suggested enabling the Guest Network on your XR500 and connecting the Hue Bridge to that. I don't know why that would work but hey it's worth a go right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confirmed if you put your XR500/XR700 in "Router Mode" and add another router in "AP Mode", the My Phillips Hue Bridge will work fine, no disconnection.

I have experienced the issue with my Phillips Hue Bridge too when my Phillips Hue Bridge is connected to a LAN port of my XR700. My Phillips Hue Bridge won't turn on my lights when I'm pressing on button "On" in iOS/Android/Windows App. Sometime I have to turn it "Off" and turn it back "On" in the app, restart the App, or restart the XR700 so I can get back the connection between my bridge and the router.

The setup for a Phillips Hue Bridge 2.0, you have to connect a Ethernet Cable from the unit to a Ethernet port of your router. You can't setup the Phillips Hue Bridge 2.0 through wifi.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2019 Ah yes sorry, could you try this please: Go to http://www.routerlogin.net/debug.htm and disable 'Enable 11k', it may also be worth trying WAN Port mirror to LAN port 1 and see if connecting the router up via LAN port 1 helps at all. It's unlikely to work but worth a shot until the team can identify the cause and fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donovan Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I can't find the "Enable 11K", I only saw the WAN Port mirror to LAN port 1 (please see the attachment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2019 Ah, mustn't be on the XR700, have you tried the WAN port mirroring? The only reason it would fix the issue really is if there is an issue with the WAN port but it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
