Archer C50 As a Wireless Transmitter / Receiver

2019-10-27 12:29:02

Model: Archer C50

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version:

Hello,

What I'm trying to acheve is to transmit my IPTV singnal wirelessly so I bought 2 Archer C50 (AC1200) routers.

What I have tried is to bridge the two routers by WDS bridging, after disabling the DHCP service of the extender.

Next I tried to enable the IPTV settings on both routers in various combinations of configuration.

Firewalls disabled on both.

Connected my STB to one of the sockets dedicated to IPTV on the receiver router.

Unfortunatelly no success so far, the IPTV signal did not propagate.

My question is if this model of reouters are capable of transmitting the IPTV signal wirelessly?

Did someone else had such experience before?

Regards,

Deyan

@dmetchev

What is the current network diagram? How do you connect these devices together?

As far as I know, the router does not support IPTV funtion with WDS bridging feature enabled.

Can you get internet from the WDS router with your computer connected to it? If you can, the WDS router should be working properly.

You can connect the STB to the main router directly with IPTV feature enabled.

Good day.

There is no fancy network diagram. Transmitter connected to the source directly with its WAN port. Receiver has the STB connected to it. Source has only IPTV response over optical cable. I just need to transmit the iptv singnal wirelessly instead of drilling holes and pulling cables. If this router is incapable of wirelessly transmitting iptv which router would fit this requirement? Haven't found straighforward documentation for this yet. Thanks.

@dmetchev

Whether the STB works by connecting to the WDS router by wirelessly depends on its own settings requests.

For example, if the IPTV type is bridge, then it won't work, cause the WDS router connects to the main router via wireless (internet), they are different datas.

If it is internet, it depends on whether the IPTV settings need VLAN enabled.

So you can compare with your own IPTV requests to verify whether it works or not.

May it help and have a nice day.
