Hi everyone. I bough myself a TP-Link system and never had anything like this before. So i am a newbie.
Currently i have 4 VLANs:
IoT: Fire TV Sticks and stuff
Entertainment: PS4, XBOX, Switch
Home: PC, mobile phone
Guest: guest-devices
My problem with this is:
I want to cast YouTube from my phone (Home VLAN) to my Fire TV (IoT VLAN). And i want guests (Guest VLAN) to find my PS4 (Entertainment VLAN) to play PlayLink-Games with me.
Even with mDNS configured it is not working. I added "_amzn-wplay._tcp.local" to my Bonjour Services and it is still not working.
I read a lot about this on this forum. Looks like i am not the only one with this problem. Most people talk about chromecast devices rather than Fire TV devices, but i dont have any chromecast devices here to test. After a long search i installed avahi (as mDNS repeater) on a raspberry pi and added it to the system. It doesnt work either. What am i doing wrong? Most of the devices are connected via WiFi via EAP610.
Everything is on the newest version and there are no updates available.
My mDNS configuration:
my Bonjour Services:
Hi @DivineJimmi
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
About your Multicast/broadcast management, did you modify it again?
This is the default. Can you try the default settings?
If you cannot discovery, disable Multicast-to-unicast.
In the meantime, make sure you create Bonjour Service for Amazon firestick.
Hi @Clive_A,
i already had a Fire TV Bonjour Service with _amzn-wplay._tcp.local as a service ID.
Before you answered i only configured my mDNS rules, nothing else.
Now i unchecked multicast to unicast. No success either. I did the following change to these WLANs: Guest, Home and Smart (IoT).
My mDNS Service looks like this:
I don't know. But i am sure i am clearly missing anything. Do i need any other ACL rule or stuff like that? I am not that deep into networking, so my understanding in this is very limited.
Do i need to tag any LANs or WLANs? And if so, how? Righ now they are only added to specific VLANs with different IPs 192.168.20.x for IoT 192.168.10.X for Home, 192.168.100.x for Guests.
