Recently I had to switch from bridged IPTV to routed IPTV. (My provider stops supporting bridged IPTV.)
Effectively this enables multicast traffic on my ASUS RT-N66U router ports.
I do have IGMP Snooping enabled, which should only send multicast streams to hosts that request it.

Funny thing is that if I plug the ethernet cable, of my Siemens Gigaset C470IP, into a random router port all IPTV boxes start stuttering like crazy.
If I plug the ethernet cable of the C470IP into a switch, directly connected behind the ASUS RT-N66U, all keeps working fine.
Previously, when I used bridged IPTV I could connect the C470IP directly to the ASUS RT-N66U router without problems.

Is it a known issue the Siemens Gigaset C470IP does not play nice when multicast traffic is possible on the ASUS RT-N66U router?
Or is IGMP Snooping not working properly while enabled on the ASUS RT-N66U router?
 
Snooping should be fine is the gigaset up to date?
 
Yes, snooping should fix it.
The gigaset is up to date, but the last update was ages ago.
(Firmware version: 022270000000 / 043.00 / 12-2010)

Would love to hear from anyone if they have seen the same issue.
It's a very old gigaset, but other than this still fully functional.
