Title: Issue with AirPlay - Proper PortForwarding is Setup
Post by: JoshDi on April 30, 2014, 12:41:41 PM
I am having an issue with my DIR-868L router with FW 1.07.

I have the following UDP/TCP ports forwarded correctly: 80,443,554,1900,3813,3689,5020,5297,5298,5350,5351,5353,8080,10443,49152-58049,58052-65535

I also have IPv4 Multicasting ON and SPI OFF.

AirPlay works correctly when using a different router. My Wireless Adapter has IPV6 and QoS disabled on my computer.

I noticed with FW 1.07 that WMM mode cannot be disabled. The box is grayed out.  I believe this is the problem.

How can I disable WMM? Does anyone have any other ideas how to get this working?

Thank you for your help!

Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48135.0)


D-Link routers most have this enabled by default and it's been grayed out with out any ability to configure it. I believe it's either due to WiFi setting dependency or requirement for WMM or by design of this feature. Can you try setting single mode G, WPA and TPIK only with Auto 20/40 or 20Mhz only and enable HT-20/40Mhz co-existence under Advanced/Adv WiFi settings if you have it? Then try to disable WMM.

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email. I'll forward this on to D-Link as well as others have asked about this. I'll post back if I get any info.

I have called D-Link. They suggested that I reset the configuration on my router (which I did). With switching around many of the settings you suggested (and the ones I switched around) and adding the port forwarding, they still could not find a resolution.

Ok, seems like the check box is a FW issue. I've asked about this and will post when I get something back if I can. No guarantees.

Only work around suggestion until then, maybe to hook up your other WiFi router and configure it as an AP maybe and use it as your point of connect with the Airplay devices...

Please be patient.

Has there been any update to this issue? Has anyone else been experiencing these issues?
Title: Re: Issue with AirPlay - Proper PortForwarding is Setup
Post by: FurryNutz on May 09, 2014, 12:19:50 PM
There hasn't been any info. D-Link said they would review this and that was it.

I would recommend that you phone contact D-Link support and ask for level 2 or higher and let them know about this. I have made my observations regarding the inaccessibility of the WMM check box as I've see it grayed out on other model routers as well. I presume this maybe by optimal use and design. However I do agree, it should be selectable if it's going to be there. I've never had a need to use it and most of my testing and experiences have worked with it. However this is not to say the this doesn't cause the issue with Airplay since I don't use that for streaming music.

Can you detail us what is needed for airplay and any other configurations? I do have iPhones and a Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro that I could set up for Airplay If not much else is needed and see if I can help you test this out. Let us know the steps to take to get this up.

No dice :(

I have the DLink router directly setup as a WAN router to my FIOS fiber connection. The Verizon Actiontec router is setup as a bridge LAN to LAN behind the DLink router. It is setup exactly like the following How-To: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15993 (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15993)

I decided to flash DD-WRT on the DLINK and Airplay now works perfectly. There is a problem with the WMM specifications/Firewall on the DLINK firmware. I have WMM set to ON when using the DD-WRT firmware and I am not having any issues.

I am going to stick with the custom firmware... the router is running much, much smoother and DD-WRT gives me a lot more features for this powerful hardware platform.

I'm glad it is working as well. If I use the ActionTec as the router (DLINK router not installed), Airplay works.

The DLink router does not work with Airplay regardless if the ActionTec router is setup in the previous bridge setup or if it is not installed at all. This issue is specific to the DLink v1.07 firmware. I hope the Dlink support team can resolve this for other users.

Thank you for following up on this for me.

Thanks for the information.

We recommend anyone wanting to use WRT FW on this router, needs to refer to the DD-WRT web and and forums for any and all help and information. D-Link forums are for D0Link OEM FW.

Please review all the WRT information and documentation before attempting to load any WRT FW.

We recommend before loading WRT FW, please exhaust all forum help and official D-Link support before loading WRT FW. Not all issues presented are FW related and can be resolved by doing some troubleshooting with forum help or official D-Link support.
A good place to start is here:  Router Troubleshooting Suggestions and Tips (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=54498.0)

Generally D-Links OEM FW works well out of the box and D-Link is aware of issues presented here in the forums when they are presented.

Good Luck.

Josh,
I'm in contact with D-Link and they'd like a details run down of your configuration before you loaded WRT if possible please.

If you could give us all HW Mfr and Models being used. ISP, Router and Airplay devices.
How it was all connected.
Any and all networking, router and device configurations, use of any router features like Port Forwarding, wireless modes used on main host router, anything that you have that would be helpful so that D-Link can reproduce this issue.

Please list the steps your using to set this all up.

D-Link is reviewing this.

They would like a saved config file to review from the router as well if possible.

We hope that D-Link will change the behavior of the grayed out WMM check box too. They are looking into it.

Any and all information is appreciated.

Thank you.

I forgot I had a Apple Airport Express (1st gen I think, 2.4Ghz G Max Wireless mode) that I had stored away. I went and did some review on how to set up Airplay after work. I bridged my Airport Express to my DIR-810L which is currently my main host router. Using Mixed G and N modes, WPA2 and Auto Cypher, 20/40Mhz on manual channel 11, 20/40 Co-existence and WMM Enabled. IPv4 Multi-cast Streams is enabled too. The Airport Express is bridged to the 2.4Ghz radio on the 810L. I connected a head phone set to the Airport Express's audio jack and started iTunes on OSX 10.7.5  on my Mac Book Pro wirelessly connected to the 5ghz radio on the 810L and heard sounds coming from the head set. Sounds was good and no interruptions or buffering was seen. Streaming music on from the Mac Book Pro thru the 810L to the Airport Express seems to work well with WMM enabled. I can't test WMM disabled to check that setting as it's grayed out. I'll put the 868L online tomorrow and test it with the Airport Express.

Please post any configuration settings you were using.

One thing I forgot to mention is that my Airport Express is using a static IP address of 192.168.0.53, default SNM, and DNS and router is pointed to the main host router at 191.168.0.1. Thats about it.

I'll check my 868L tomorrow.

had the same static DHCP setup for all devices; my only difference is that I used 192.168.1.255/32 as my sub-net.

I PM'ed you my configuration file from my FW 1.07 install.

I see..I only have a few devices set up for static. All my PCs, game consoles and phones are Reserved IPs on the router. I wonder if your PCs or other devices(not Airport Express) using static could have contributed to problems.

I'll test my config out on the 868L tomorrow. I got the file.

Thank you for your time and feed back.

Ok, so I connected my 868L today as the main host router. Set up the same WiFi settings as I have on the 810L, Enabled WMM and connected the Airport Express. Streaming from my Mac Book Pro was seamless and with out any issues. All I had to do was to power cydle the AE after the 868L v1.07 was powered up.

I streamed a few songs and enjoyed the music over my 7 chl receiver.

I can't produce your issue.  :-\

Hi,

I got a Dlink Router & am facing the same issue. I believe its a firmware issue but the following fixes it (Patchwork)

1. Disable MultiAP isolation in Wireless Basic settings
2. Remove 'Configure the second IP Address and Subnet Mask for LAN' from Local network settings
3. Go to Advanced Wireless - Turn User Isolation off (if you want airplay to work from iphone to apple tv)
4. Turn User Isolation ON - if you want Airplay to work from PC (Wired) to Apple tv
5. Make sure your country is set to United Arab Emirates (Best setting so far)

The User isolation setting affects with Bonjour services; if its OFF wifi devices can see each other if ON then only Wired devices will be able to see Wifi devices

Try it out & let me know.

My answers in white. Once when i rebooted the router it actually showed a 224.x.x.x address under "Status->IPv4 Multicast group addresses", but i have not been able to get this up again.

BTW, the datagram broadcasting bug i mentioned under firewall settings were there on my old DIR-655 as well. This breaks autodiscovery of players and hosted games in older LAN games. In FW versions later than 1.02 the filtering option has been removed, which also completely breaks these older games which rely on datagram broadcasting
