Can't connect to iptv

Can't connect to iptv

Model: Archer NX200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

For the life of me I can't connect to my iptv Samsung TV app through the nx200. 

 

Can I first say that I've not had any problems in the past with using various TV based iptv apps with other 5g routers. They work fine with a Huawei 5g and a D Link 5g router but for some reason whenever I try to run the TV apps using the NX200 they log into the app, list the channels but then it just hangs if I try to select a channel. I'm convinced it's a setting on the router of some sort that seems to be stopping the app working or getting out to the Internet. 

 

I really like the NX200 but I need this feature to work. I've checked things with my iptv provider and EE but niether can suggest a solution and both have tried everything to get the iptv working, including full resets of all my equipment. 

 

What's really annoying is that if I use either of the other routers then the TV apps work again straight away and then stop straight away if I reconnect the TV to the NX200. 

 

If I can't find a solution ASAP I'll have to return it and opt for something else so any suggestions would be much appreciated. 

 

Please bear in mind though that my networking knowledge is basic at best. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

May I confirm how you connect your Samsung TV to the Archer NX200? Wired or wireless? 2.4GHz band or 5GHz band?

Can other client devices connect to the NX200 network properly?

It is suggested to recreate a setup profile manually following this thread.

If possible, you may change another SIM card to confirm.

Thanks for cooperation.

Hi Marvin, thanks for the reply

 

I have tried to solve this problem by connecting both wired and wirelessly to the nx200 and I just get the same problem.

 

I'm really not sure how the nx200 connects to the TV in terms of which band it uses, I thought the nx200 combines both bands. Is it possible to separate them so I could try both (maybe that's the answer). I know if I go back to my old 4G huawei router which uses both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands then everything works fine. That's also the case if I use a new D Link 5G router which has the separate bands.

 

Your suggestion about creating a new profile has already been applied, as at first I was unable to get even my SKY Q equipment to connect to the NX200 and this was suggested as a fix. I think that's the profile the NX200 is running on at the moment.

 

I've tried a few Sim cards already and they are all the same.

 

Any further advice would be much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for your detailed update.

According to your description, the Band Steering is enabled on your router, so you can see one wifi name from the router. You may log into the web UI of the router to check.

 

To assist you efficiently, we will forward your case to the TP-Link support engineers who will contact you with your registered email address. Please pay attention to your email box for follow-up.

Just an update while I'm waiting for tech support to get back to me. 

 

After resetting the NX200 back to factory settings this morning  I was able to use my iptv service, albeit a bit slow. 

 

However I couldn't then use Sky without selecting the alternative profile that was suggested to me as a means of connecting with Sky. 

 

Unfortunately I need to use them both side by side. At the moment I can only get one to work at a time. On the default profile my iptv works and on the Sky Test profile then Sky Q will work.
