IPTV Service was created by scuzzie2k
Hi Guys,

I have real issues watching IPTV services on wireless or wired and think it could be the Draytek 2860n, it works then it will just drop for no reason, anyone know anything about this or how I can diagnose? I have enabled IGMP

Hi there,
Whilst looking for something completely unrelated, I spotted a comment in Draytek's release notes for firmware related to the 130.

For compatibility with IPTV services usage use Bridge Mode: http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/kb-vigor-130-bridge


Long and short of it is the suggestion is to use Bridge mode (MPoA rather than PPPoE) - the article gives a little more info.
I'm not sure what your WAN connection is, but if it's an xDSL connection, it might be worth a try ?
Cheers
Simon
