hi there nah, if it was like this, the whole technology would become useless 😃 igmp multicast only forwards all igmp traffic, and even then, there's igmp snooping (if enabled - better be!) to sniff on which ports igmp capable devices reside. so in the rnd, igmp traffic will only be sent to the ports where the capable devices are connected using the table collected through igmp snooping. my sctv_player gets it's ip from the asus. all my devices do, except the sctv_recorder (and only because it's standing right near the CG). in networking i'm really strict (as network sec / vulnerability it is part of my job)and therefore i restricted the dhcp on the CG to onl distribute 1 IP to the sctv_recorder, and do the ip passthrough to the asus. other than that, everything is managed and distributed ny the asus. btw, this is one of the router with the most awesomness in its price class. had different cisco linksys and still have some, but i never got used to the range of those things cut that bad ever since they got rid of the antennas... cheers
