Hi

I have added two RT-AC66U's to my home network. I use an Apple AirPort Extreme as my main router.

The two RT-AC66U's are configured like this:

The first is in AP mode and connected with Ethernet to my AirPort Extreme router.

The second is in media bridge mode (connected to my server Mac Mini with Ethernet).

The problem is that all the multicast (Bonjour/Zeroconf/mdns I guess) stuff doesn't work.

For example, I can't start AirPort Utility on my Mac Mini server and configure the AirPort Extreme, the Mac Mini just doesn't see it. So, I think that multicast packets are being blocked by my RT-AC66U's.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Regards Martin
