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?
