Netgear R7800 - YouView not Working

[OldBlue]

Hello All, I recently switched over to BT broadband and decided to go for BTTV a week or so back. Before purchasing I stated that I use my own Netgear router and extenders - to which I was advised it would be fine. Today was activation day and incredibly... it does not work. Router: Netgear NightHawk r7800 Extender: Netgear AC1200 Dual Band Current Setup: Router > Extender >Ethernet to BTTV Started everything up, streaming and general freeview works fine - however subscription channels just give me the IPC6023 error. I've then tried using the home hub and the subscription channels worked. From searching through the forums I saw that advice was given to Disable IGMP proxying and enable Support British Telecom (BT) IGMP Proxying. Tried ringing tech support and they then advised me that BTTV ONLY works with BT Hubs which is pretty annoying as I was told before ordering it would work with my Router and Extender. Unfortunately this didn't work either - has anyone got any help? Quick fixes? Thanks, Dave.

Just a note - using a Netgear DM200 Modem.

BTTV does work with third party routers, it certainly works with TP Link devices, you need to enable IGMP Snooping.

I doubt that the AC1200 wifi extender would be able to carry the multicast data.

Try connecting the YouView box directly to the router.

Thanks for the reply - I tried this and it didn't do anything unfortunately..

Hi Keith - The extender worked when the BTHUB is setup, tested it with the YouView and the subscription channels work. When I switch back to the Netgear router - no luck.

Have you got the latest firmware on the Netgear?

I have licquorice.

From the manual, it would appear you need to uncheck the IGMP Proxying (rather than disabling) as well as selecting BT Proxying. (Never sure of the difference between snooping and proxying)

Enable British Telcom IGMP Proxy Support
You must use this feature only for British Telcom (BT) Internet Protocol television (IPTV) service. It might
also work with TalkTalk IPTV service.
To enable BT IGMP proxy support:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
The WAN Setup page displays.
5. Clear the Disable ITMP Proxying check box.
6. Select the Support British Telecom (BT) IGMP Proxying check box.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Thanks for this - this is what I tried. I've tried both ways - just straight out unchecking the enable and again with checking the Support British Telecom (BT) IGMP Proxying check box. Unfortunately it didn't work :[
