VDSL Archer 2800 modem to AX11000 router config IGMP Multicast config

Model: Archer AX11000

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 20200716 rel.84595(4555)

I'm in the UK and trying to configure a combo of Archer 2800 and AX11000 as VDSL modem and router (I assumed 2 TP Link products should work together)

If I use the 2800 as a stand alone modem/router by itself

I use the default config and selecting my provider, IGMP multicast works off Lan 1 say, wifi works, everything is fine, tv works

If I use the 2800 as a fttc vdsl modem only and connect to the AX11000 to use as a ethernet & wifi router

I connect the 2800 Lan port 1 to the AX11000 Wan, connect tv stb via a Lan port, turn off DHCP,

connect via bridge mode in IPTV settings with dynamic IP address in the internet settings,

I get no IGMP packets received and no tv signal

I tried changing the IPTV config settings in various ways but no joy, am I missing something fundamental?

Is there any way I can test traffic to the WAN port? searching IGMP in the system log returns nothing

thanks

Steve

@billhinge

Here's the user guide for your device.

You can go to section 12.3 Configure to support IPTV Service

There are two options: IGMP and non-IGMP based technology for providing IPTV by your ISP.

You have to configure IPTV/VLAN settings according to your ISP instructions.

An alternative AX11000 usage:

You can use 2800 as a standalone modem/router and the AX11000 as an AP by following this guide.

The ethernet cable goes from 2800 LAN1 to AX11000 WAN.

LAN IP of AX11000 you can set as Smart IP (DHCP) and its DHCP server to Auto. If the two devices are close to each other turn the 2800 wireless network OFF to avoid interference. If you can place them on a larger distance you can leave 2800 wireless ON, thus extending your wireless coverage in your household.
