QUOTE(JayceOoi @ Mar 11 2019, 12:16 PM) Latest official firmware does not work well with my Pana TV. Using Merlin is ok. Do install fans to keep it cool too since yours is China version. Only China version got prob?  |

QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Mar 10 2019, 05:59 PM) This issue have been discussed previously. It has something to do with IGMP snooping being disabled by default due to hardware compatibility issues and VLAN. What? Hardware incompatibility issue and the just leave it to screw up IPTV? Exactly what hardware incompatibility? AC88U have the same problem? |

You can go back to earlier posts on this thread to see people discussing this issue. Did you try updating to the newest firmware and see if that solves the issue? |

Did you try updating to the newest firmware and see if that solves the issue? Tried firmware 45149. Totally a mess. Went back to 32799. Seems the most stable. IPTV issues persist. I switched to one of my AC68Us and the IPTV issue doesn't exist on any firmware. Did note that IGMP snooping is disabled on the AC68U and it has no impact on IPTV connection. This seems to be some unusual issue with the AC86U. Speed is excellent on 32799 and Download Master works. 45149 breaks Downlaod Master so I won't be using it. |
