Hello,
I’m trying to use the MT300N v2 to proxy multicast traffic as unicast. I have an IPTV box and when I connect it to my home network, everything shuts down (I lose internet access). I’ve narrowed it down to the fact that it’s using multicast transmissions – apparently enough to bring down the network. I want to be able to bring this IPTV box other places as well, so I thought I’d try to use udpxy and proxy the data from one port to the other of the MT300N v2. Here’s how I have it set up:
IPTV box → LAN port (because it wants to receive an IP via DHCP)
WAN port → home network (with ports 22, 80, 8080 and 8888 open in the firewall)
I’ve got udpxy installed and I can access it by http://<mt300n’s WAN IP>:8888/status/ but when I try to do http://<mt300n’s WAN IP>:8888/udp/239.255.42.42:5004/ in VLC, it doesn’t receive the stream coming from 239.255.42.42 on port 5004. I’m wondering if maybe this could be some firewall issue, or if I need to do something else to get the traffic to pass through. Does anyone have any ideas what could be missing? Thanks in advance!
