Hi everyone,

I am looking for someone familiar with Bouygues BBOX configuration that could help with the IPTV setup.

To give you an idea, my ISP provided 2 devices: a router and a TVbox. The router is handling my internet connection, and I only have my personal router Netgear R7800 connected to it. I use the R7800 to manage my network, DHCP, WIfi, etc.
The TVbox is connected downstream of the R7800.
Everything worked well util I updated the router last weekend with ddwrt r46259. Now the TV is not passing through and I can't find a way to make it work again. All connections are still the same.

I have the IGMP snooping activated on the br0 and the TVbox in the DMZ (not sure if this helps). I must be missing something...

Any help would be apreciated Wink

Uncheck "Filter Multicast" under the Security Tab. DMZ isn't needed.

Hi, thanks for the help.
I have tried doing this but it did not work.

I have finally made it work but I can't understand the logic: There is an option to connect the 2 ISP boxes (router and TV) directly via WIFI. I am reluctant to use the ISP router WIFI as I do not want it to be on top of the R7800 WIFI.
Anyway, this was obviously working as it bypass the R7800 router. However, I then tried to deactivate the ISP router Wifi and reconnected the TV box under the R7800 and it is now working (no change in settings in ddwrt)...
