Android TV connectivity issues was created by jrp
I have a current firmware 2862 and Windows Server providing DHCP.

My new Sony Android TV based telly seems to have problems with network connectivity (in both Wi-fi and direct Ethernet connections).

At initial setup it says that the tv says it has found an internet connection, but then says that there is an unspecified problem. It’s not clear what that problem is as most of the functions that rely on internet connectivity seem to work and the network settings also show both land and internet connectivity.

Probably a long shot but only problem ive had with TV's not working properly with a Draytek is when DNS Security is on (Applications/DNS Security).
Dont know why, or even if it now works, but it broke my TV connecting to certain services when it was on.

On the 2862 the factory config has IGMP disabled.
