Hello,
I have trouble using a streaming bridge with an airport extreme 802.11ac. According to the manufacturer of the streaming bridge I have to enable 'multicast' on the airport. Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks.
Airport Extreme 802.11ac-OTHER, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Although there used to be a multicast setting in the older v5.x version of the AirPort Utility, this is NOT the same as what the manufacturer is referring to. In this case they are talking about IP Multicast. Enabling or disabling IP multicast is not an option for the AirPort base stations. I believe, the AirPorts, are IP multicast pass-through devices, at best.
Airport Utility > Network > Network Options
Enable IGMP Snooping
Dang, forgot about the IGMP Snooping option. Great catch!
Thanks! 😀
1000 Thanks!
That streaming bridge was driving me crazy, it's working perfectly now.
I have the AirPort Extreme A1408 (802.11n, not 802.11ac). Using AirPort Utility for Mac 6.3.1, and firmware 7.6.7, I do not see this option.
Does this version of AirPort Extreme / AirPort Utility / AirPort Firmware support multicast? If so, how can it be enabled?
Sorry, but the AirPort Extreme A1408 does not have the option that you are looking for.
