      To make life easier, I carried the same IPTV VLAN Bell uses (34 in my case) into my Switch and just activated the appropriate ports and setup IGMP on the switch. Used a 192.168.x.x/24 address. I only have the one box but I cannot see a second causing issues with the broadcasts being contained to the ports needed. Are you using a switch and does it support Multicast and the configuration of it?

          I am just using a dumb switch, maybe thats the entire problem.

          The AP is running openwrt, so maybe something can be done with that.

            @wp519 I would say that is the issue. Your network is getting flooded. I got a TP-Link JetStream switch and have multiple VLANS one of which if for IPTV. More secure and keeps broadcast traffic down.

                If you get a managed switch, avoid TP-Link. Some models don't handle VLANs properly.

                I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                  Well, its "working" again, I found out that if i have both boxes unplugged, plug the wifi box in first, let it sync to a channel, then plug in the 4k box, both boxes will work.

                  Reverse order will not work.

                  Im just going to leave it like this, and if it frustrates me anymore I'll just go back to the hh3000. lol

                    Hello everyone, last night I wanted to check some netflix straight from the fibe receiver and I had a 404 error, so i decided to check crave, same error, if I press on-demand button, it all works, if i go to the crave or netflix channel, it works, but not the "apps" section

                    I have not changed anything on my pfsense box and I'm starting to wonder if this is still valid

                    rebind-domain-ok=bell.ca
                    rebind-domain-ok=bell.com
                    server=/bell.ca/10.2.127.228
                    server=/bell.com/10.2.127.228

                    Did bell change their addresses ?

                        Code carried over from the old forum was incorrect. Check now.
