IPTV does not work with an assus router (mesh)

Hello,

I’m trying to configure my asus router correctly to get the live stream from the swisscom tv box. I think that multicast is not activated in my network. With my current network I am able to watch recordings and replay programmes (unicast) but the live stream (multicast).

When I was looking in the settings of my router I came across this page.

Only I don’t know what to fill in for these VID fields and there is no preconfiguration for swisscom.
Which parameter should you apply?

Best regards

    Keizeubof63 You won’t get any further with the settings. Das ist ein Menue für VLAN has nothing to do with multicast.

    The menu must look something like this:

    The configuration differs depending on the choice - there is not much to configure on my CSS326-24G-2S+ with SwOS:

      Asus routers can handle multicast perfectly when configured correctly.
      This works absolutely flawlessly both LAN cable-based and in WLAN.

      Here are the settings you are looking for:

      Under LAN/IPTV:

      Activate multicast routing and set IGMPv3

      Under WLAN/Professional for the 5 GHz WLAN:

      Enable IGMP Snooping

          Werner Thank you very much for this information, unfortunately it still doesn’t work.
          Another important thing to mention is that I am connected with aimesh.

          My main router is connected to my modem (RT-AX82U) and my two other routers are access points. My tv box is connected via ethernet to the RT-AC88U access point.

          Does this change any settings?

              No idea what “Magic” is supposed to mean, but what is absolutely clear is that for multicasting to work, the entire chain from Internet access to the final Swisscom TV box must always be configured consistently for correct multicasting.

              So no matter what you have in between, whether additional routers, switches or access points, everything must be configured to be compatible for multicasting.

                Keizeubof63 My main router is connected to my modem (RT-AX82U)

                And as an addendum:
                Unfortunately, I can’t understand the phrase “connected to my modem (RT-AX82U)” at all, because this router doesn’t even have a built-in modem with which it could connect to a Swisscom subscription.

                Does this mean that you still have a Swisscom Internet box connected to the front, or do you not have a Swisscom Internet subscription at all?

                    Your tv box is connected to the RT-AC88U via LAN. And the RT-AC88U then with this AiMesh, i.e. via WLAN to the RT-AX82U? It is possible that this will not work with aimesh. A live TV stream always places somewhat higher demands on the transmission in your own home network. And a WLAN network that has to be kept together by meshing is actually rubbish anyway.

                    I would try switching off this AiMesh. Or even better, connect the RT-AC88U to the RT-AX82U with a network cable. This can be done as a test by simply running it through the flat.

                        kaetho your tv box is connected to the RT-AC88U via LAN. What about the RT-AC88U with this AiMesh, i.e. via WLAN to the RT-AX82U?

                        Yes, that’s it. For the moment I’ve set up this AiMesh because we’ve got some work planned soon and I didn’t want to run cables between the routers.
                        But it’s something I want to do in the long term.
                        Is it possible to connect the TV box via wifi without adding any hardware?

                            The TV box has a built-in 5 GHz WLAN adapter.
                            Depending on local conditions, you have a range of up to approx. 10 metres.
                            Depending on the possibilities, either connect directly to the Internet box or to a wired access point

                                Keizeubof63 Yes, even if the WLAN signal is strong enough at the TV box, you can connect the TV box directly via WLAN from the router.
                                However, an Ethernet cable to the router is always recommended.

                                Note: WLAN is never as reliable a transmission medium as an Ethernet cable.
