Hello everybody,
I’ve been using an old cheap router without having multicast enabled, and all went well, but sometimes the connection to the iPad had been interrupted. Now I bought the Belkin router, and had no interruptions …. at least this afternoon
. Then I wanted to try multicast. I switched multicast on (enable) and the system restarted. Then I reconnected the editor (notebook wired to the router)and the Mixpad app. It seemed to work, but neither the editor nor the mixpad showed any metering (or gain reduction in the compressor section). I had full control over all parameters and could change anything I wanted with the editor, but no metering at all.I disabled multicast, and after reconnecting and starting everything the meters were there. Since it’s the same with the Mixpad and the editor, I think it’s not the known iPad problem, which can be solved by switching meters off and on. Do I have to change settings within the router? I could not find anything related to multicast in the manual of the Belkin.
Thank you for any suggestions or solutions.

I neither doubted Andy nor Wouter
I just wanted to translate the answer from TP-Link more precisely, because from Andy’s post, I got the impression, he did not understand exactly what they meant. My experiences with supports from many different companies let me think, that very often you don’t get an answer that fits to your question.
At the rare occasions, when I needed iLive support, the Austrian distributer’s support was very quick and helpful.
BTW ..I just tried an iPad with a very cheap router (multicast disabled), and everything worked perfect :-)Even if I’m no Apple fan, I think I’ll have to buy an iPad and the Mixpad app! The app is worth every € !!!

I think, maybe Wouters question has been misunderstood.
The correct translation of the answer is:
“There are 3 versions of multicast. The needed multicast function is only available in version 3 of IGMP. If you need this function to use t-home entertain, I’m sorry, I have to tell you, that this is not possible.”I understand this, as if the router supports versions 1 and 2, but not 3.
