What settings do I have to change in WL500gP in order to be able to watch IPTV on any computer in LAN segment?
(Right now I use a secondary NIC on one computer, which is connected directly to ISP's switch, but only when watching TV on this computer. NIC#1 is connected to WL500gP for the "regular" internet traffic. I was hoping to optimize the whole thing to go through one NIC, using this router.)
From telnetQuote:

or go in to web based menagment page , and then ip config->route and enable multicast routing , in my case worked .
p.s you need to change Multicast Rate to in something else than auto .
So, I finally managed to get my IPTV to work by Enabling Multicast Routes (IP Config > Miscellaneous) ... however, whenever my IPTV is on, suddenly my wireless network won't work anymore..
Whenever I'm trying to connect, it stalls when "Acquiring network address". I've tried to look both in the wireless settings and the DHCP, but haven't been able to make this work, so I've hit a dead end here..
This is applicable to both my laptops and my squeezebox, wired LAN works fine, though, also, whenever I'm not using my IPTV, everything is working okay... (all devices are 54g)
Oh, and I'm using Oleg 1.9.2.7-9 .
Any help or good ideas where to search are much appreciated, as I really prefer to use my Asus router than the bundled router with my IPTV...

there is a 10 version out of oleg...:p
the lastest stable version: http://oleg.wl500g.info/1.9.2.7-10/
anyway... did you add some routes or just only enabled the multicast routes?
can you post the output of the command:
(can be done via telnet/ssh or the webinterface-> system setup -> system command)Quote:
route
who knows:p
No, I haven't added any routes, I just enabled the multicast routes...Quote:

I didn't know a v10 of Oleg was out, guess I'm a little behind, I'll try an update as well when I have some time available, but please keep giving me good ideas ;)
EDIT: Just updated to Oleg version 10, unfortunately, this didn't solve this problem...
/Christian
and do the routes change when you are streaming then?:confused:
it differs quite a lot of what I have... and it contains ip-adresses that are not private (for home use) and might conflict with internet ip-adresses:p
do you use pppoe or something? because then it might be right:)
This is when streaming iptv:Quote:

I don't know if I'm using PPoE - how do I find out? (And what is it?) I find it rather bizzare that wired LAN works fine and only wlan is behaving strange..

Same thing here :(
HW: WL 500W
firmware: Oleg 1.9.2.7-10.
IPTV is not working on WLAN but working perfectly on LAN, and when LAN uses IPTV - all wlan connections die. The wireless network is still "visible" to the laptop but no traffic and no ip address can be aquired/assigned :(
Firewall and multicast routing are enabled.
any ideas?
thanks
Dear english+Russian speaking members of forum!
I'm struggeling with configuration of wl500w/oleg 1.9.2.7-10 router to enable IPTV udp stream through router, but i'm more or less unsuccesfull. When searching wl500g.info forum for any additional info, Ican found a couple of hundred topics on russian part of forum, bot only a few of them (mostly unanswered) on english part of forum.
So can I be one ob the bilingual expert to make a quick resume or even better HOw-To of probably allready discused and answered questions on properly configuration of wl500x routers to play with IPTV broadcasts.
Currently in our country one of the provider requires separate connection for "data" and "video" and if you want to watch IPTV on PC with active data connection, you had to have two NIC's. After that you may have two separate networks, with diferent netmask (24 bit for data and 16 bit for video which requires udp/5002 port).
One of the sugestion on one of the local forum was, to connect data cable to wan port and video cable to first lan port of the asus router, than to enable multicast routing (and make a little magic).
In a name of non-russian speaking members, thanks for your help!
I never tried the iptv settings, but I just want to point you that there is an improved oleg firmware: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/downloads/list fresh builds about every month or so:D
Thanks for a tip; I will try new firmware and see if my problems will be solved! But, where can I find any informations about features of firmware?Quote:

With above firmware I can succesfuly connect/receive IPTV UDP stream.Quote:

I fnd out that firmware handle much better the WDS - now it can have security enabled (with Asus router securityy has to be set to open-system).
So Thanks for the link of firmware.
Hello
I got a probably uncommon network setup and need some help to fix some last quirks...
first my network-setup:
Router from ISP configured as bridge
^
| Wired
v
RT-N16 as main router
^
| Wifi
v
WL-500w as Ethernet Brigde
^
| Wired
v
ITPV Box
Settings for the wifi-bridge:
WPA2/AES encryption
Multicast enabled
Multicast rate 38mbps
"efficient multicast forwarding disabled" (On the RT-N16, the Wl500w doesn't offer this feature)
now to my problems:
- Currently I get image or sound hiccups every 5 to 30 seconds. When I use a cable to plug the TV-box directly into the RT-N16 I no longer see these hiccups. I therefore suspect the wifi-bridge to be the culprit. Unfortunately a cable is no option in the long run...
- The efficient multicast forwarding doesn't work properly (RT-N16 only):
It only works when I start it up without the efficient forwarding, then turn it on and restart the RT-N16.
Someone has an idea on how to get the wifi-link more reliable?
thanks and with king regards

For me it's also unstable, until I found the best channel to use:)Quote:

If you get it right (and the routers are not too far away from each other), then you should be able to get a bandwidth of 20 to 40 Mbit/s
As for the jitter... I don't think that will ever disappear:(
