APPS is a Router Problem

[tas3986]

I just upgraded :nono2: from a Dlink to an Airlink router. APPS stopped working. Back to Dlink, and they started up.
I contacted Airlink. Here is their reply:

Hi ,
Sorry for the inconvience, Router - AR430W will not support mulicasting feature. Thanks for choosing airlink101.

Maybe we need to create a sticky table of routers that have the necessary features to support the APPS functions. No wonder everyone is having problems!

Please let me know if it works out of the box, or requires a special setting to get APPS working.

From the posts below, it appears that we have to worry about the firmware level of the routers too. Inshort, make sure that your firmware is up to date!

Mfg..............Model.............APPS Work
Dlink............DI-524 (D.1)......-Yes................Enable Multicast Streams in MISC-TOOLS options

NetGear vpn routers FVS318v3 and FVS336g both work.
NetGear RP614 works.
Belkin N+ works.
D-Link DIR-655 works fine. (I happened to upgrade my firmware a few weeks back on my DIR-655 and never thought to try TV APPS afterward. Well they work now. Click on the advanced tab --> Advanced Network Settings (bottom option) and select the multicast stream box. It's the last option on the page.)

D-Link DIR-628 works. To enable Multicast Streams, go to Advanced/ Advanced Network and check the box to enable. It is not enabled as a default.

Thanks for the tip, I could never figure out why TV Apps didn't work (not that I tried too hard). :)

WRT300N does NOT work

WRT300N does NOT work

Are you sure about that? The WRT300N does support multicasting.
Have you tried checking the 'Filter Multicast' option?

I'll check and try again.

hdtvfan, is there any certain setup or settings you use to get them to work with the DIR-655? I have the same router and have never seen a single app ever come up on either box. What firmware are you on?

One is hardwired(HR20) and the other is wireless(HR21).

Wow, nevermind. I happened to upgrade my firmware a few weeks back on my DIR-655 and never thought to try TV APPS afterward. Well they work now. This is the first time I have seen them come up. Crazy.

Click on the advanced tab --> Advanced Network Settings (bottom option) and select the multicast stream box. It's the last option on the page.

I'll have to check and see if that box is checked when i get home. The APPS are working now that i upgraded my router firmware to the latest release.

Thanks for the tip.
