DLNA problem

[Ninko]

Hi,
I hope someone can help me with this problem, it's been driving me crazy.

My setup is, the cable modem is connected to a ASUS RT-AC87U router with a D-Link DIR-655 router connected to that as a AP. I then have a Synology NAS connected to that, hope that makes sense.
Pretty much all settings on the DIR-655 are disabled apart from WiFi which has all the same settings as the WiFi on the RT-AC87U.

I have a Samsung smart Blu-ray player which can connect to either router although it normally picks the RT-AC87U.
The problem is the Blu-ray player often can't see the NAS's DLNA media player. I've played about with it like you wouldn't believe and I MIGHT have found where the problem lies but can't swear to it.
It appears if the DLNA client connects to the DIR-655 which has the NAS connected to it everything's fine but if it connects to the RT-AC87U it can't see the DLNA server. So it's as if the DIR-655 isn't passing the DLNA broadcasts to the RT-AC87U probably.

Could someone perhaps help me with this as I'm all out of ideas.

Thanks

Ninko

What happens when you plug an ethernet cable from the player into a lan port on each AP one at a time ?

Make sure the DIR-655 is properly set up as an access point and is not acting as a router.
