Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) with multiple set-top boxes on
the same local network. These set-top boxes have different video
streams running simultaneously, so you should use the IGMP
feature of the Router.
IGMP forwarding (proxying) is a system that improves
multicasting for LAN-side clients. If the clients support this
option, keep the default,
Enable
. Otherwise, select
