Which router for IPTV broadcasting via multicast?

[dhajduch]

Hello,

I'm new here and I try to find the answer for my question "which router should I use for IPTV which using multicast streams?" I bought D-Link DIR-655 but it didn't work properly and I returned it back. I have internet connection with 48Mb/s. D-Link DIR-655 look like a right choice but it has problem with proper handling of multicast streams and not all channels were available like I has them when I was directly connected with the PC to my ISP, even firmware update didn't helped :-(. So if somebody has a suggestion please let me know.

Thanks

Wow, multicast.We don't test it because it seems to be rarely used. Maybe this short series might help.

DIR-655 have problems with firmware 1.20 and above. Multicast works great with 1.11 firmware. I have problems too. Like him. Click me gently.
