ZenWifi XT8 WiFi IPTV

[juctn]

Hey there,

I've just replaced the router supplied by my ISP with an ASUS ZenWifi XT8.
My ISP router had a very poor WiFi range and only offered WiFi 5.
The options offered (DMZ, DDNS, etc) were also too limited.

Here's what my network (FTTH to IPTV decoder) looks like:
FTTH --> ONT --> ASUS XT8 --> WIFI --> IPTV Decoder

My problem is this that I can no longer access IPTV.

According to the data provided by my ISP, IGMP packets must be marked P5 via QoS.
But, my IPTV decoder is connected with WiFi, not LAN.
It's therefore impossible to use a LAN Port 2 VID 100 PRIO 5 configuration, for example.

Could you suggest a solution?

Thank you

Welcome to the forums @juctn.

You can connect your ISP router for the TV and Bridge it and/or turn off the radios and connect your router for your internet needs.

Thanks

I'd really liked not to use my ISP router anymore.

So I modified my configuration by adding powerline.

My network is now as follows:
FTTH --> ONT --> ASUS XT8 --> powerline --> IPTV Decoder

The IPTV Decoder is connected to the LAN2 port of my router.

To follow my ISP's instructions, I have configured the router as follows:
Internet: VID 100 / PRIO 0
LAN2: VID 100 / PRIO 5

By doing this, I have access to IPTV... BUT...
When my IPTV decoder is running, I can't access the Internet on any of my devices, and I have nothing but IPTV.
When the IPTV decoder is off, I get Internet back on my other devices.

After checking, in the IPTV section of the router settings, it says "Enable multicast rooting DISABLED (Due to hardware limitation, IGMP proxy cannot co-exist with IPTV function".

Let me get this straight:
My ISP uses VLAN 100 to broadcast Internet and TV. Therefore, the router must be able to split the two via multicast routing, in order to provide Internet access to my devices and IPTV to the set-top box.
Is this right?
And my router doesn't seem to be able to do this?

Is there any other way of doing this? Without going through my ISP's router?

If not, are there any routers that offer this feature? Since my house has thick walls, mesh is a big plus for me...

Thank you and happy new year!
