Using a second T3200M router with Optik TV 4K box
Hi all, I have a T3200m on one side of my home that is the connected via DSL phone jacks. A coax cable runs from this router's MOCA port to a farther side of my home. At the other end of this cabl...
OK, figured it out and it's quite simple.
- connect the MOCA adapter to the WAN port of the 2nd T3200m
- create a separate subnet on the 2nd T3200m - this will enable me to login to the 2nd T3200m like a separate router and make changes there
- on the 2nd T3200m, under the Firewall setting page disable "WAN Ping block mode". This is what's causing multicast to fail on the 2nd T3200m. All other settings i.e IGMP should be the same as factory default.
The Optik 4K STB connected to the 2nd T3200m is working great. The 1st T3200m connected to (Telus DSL) has the "WAN Ping block mode" enabled to maintain the default security setting of the primary router/modem.
Interesting.
Blocking ICPM Echo will definitely help multicasting but I would think both T3200M routers would behave the same with the same settings.
What devices do you have connected to the 1st T3200M that might be sending out a lot pings to the 2nd T3200M?
