Asus AC5300: Enable IGMP?

AndersT2 · April 30, 2017

I'm setting up a AC5300 for a client, and discovered that the ISP had a new router that gives both internet and TV from the same port at the same time. Just plug and play. They called it IGMP.

Anybody know anything of this.

The ide was to set up two networks, one for internet and one for TV, since the ISP when I had them only had separate outputs.

I'm justing the Asus because the ISP router don't have guest network, and we will either use another AC5300 for extending the network, or a Asus Extender, so they'll work better together.

But it would be alot easier for him to just plug whatever in whereever. He has about 15 network outputs through out his house, so getting a IGMP switch is no problem to extend to all, but need it to work through the Asus first

IGMP is for multicast clients to establish group memberships. In residential applications it's generally used for TV broadcasting over IP based lines.

If you're asking how/where to enable IGMP on that model router it's here:
