I am hoping someone can help me.
My problem started when I switched from an Actiontec 9100EM
What happens is basically I can not stream anything from wireless to wired connections or vice versa.
I am able to temporarily fix this by going into setup-Advanced-Yes-IP Address Distribution and change it from DHCP Server to one of the other options and then change it back and all works, until the connection resets
I have tried every setting I can think of, and was thinking maybe I need to reflash the firmware to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated

I just wanted to let everyone know that I called Verizon this evening and they were of no help - "Try sending an email to the address that is listed somewhere on the website" (which even the technical support rep couldn't find). I did, however, find the solution to this problem!
Login to the router, Advanced -> Yes -> IPMG Proxy - Set IGMP Proxy (Enable/Disable): to Disable and save.
That's all it takes! Happy streaming everyone!

Called tech support and wasted an hour with them with no solution other than "if people are having success rolling back the firmware, you should too".

My Media Center on wireless PC is not able to see the tuner in HomeRun Prime. It is complaining that UPnP packets are not received. I tried the workaround of enabling IPv6 and that did not make any difference. I spent $80 for upgrading the router to get 802.11n so I could watch my HD channels in Media Center. It worked beautifully for a week until 4.19.36 update. Actiontec support said they have no plans to fix it. Verizon please put some fire under them.
I have to drag a long cable with my laptop instead of using wireless now. ๐

Has anyone been successful reverting the firmware back to the previous version?

On the main forum this issue has been marked as solved. This issue is not solved at all since the MI424WR-Gen3i with firmware 4.19.36 still does not allow for IGMP Proxy to be disabled.
In order to get more exposure for technical help, I propose the motion for the techs/moderators to mark this issue as unsolved.

The original persons problem was solved, and so it should remain marked as solved. There is a new thread talking about the removal of IGMP Proxy for the REV I version.

Not sure it works but BIGDADDY on DSL REPORTS has posted a jump that seems to get you to the IGMP proxy page. Previously others had success when they turned off IGMP proxy.

The http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?active_page=6059 jump worked for me. I have the gen3 and when i was logged into my router and clicked the jump link it let me finally get it taken off. restarted my Media streaming device and it pop'd right up. thanks for the hard work and effort guys.

TNS,
You rock! I tried all of the other URL jumps to no avail, but found exactly what I needed from your jump. As soon as I disabled IGMP Proxy and did a restart of PS3 Media Server, viola - it popped right up on both the PS3 and the PS3 Media Server status page. This configuration option is not navigable via the router's UI so your jump was the only way to access it.
Here are some of the other things I tried. For each that did not work, I reversed to the previous setting:
Turned on IPV6 (was off by default)
Togged UPnP via a jump (was on by default)
Messed around with doing static IP assignments
I called Verizon tech support while browsing this forum, found your resolution and I'm back in business. I just hung up the phone after 45 minutes of being on hold.
Devices able to stream again via DNLA thanks to one checkmark:
PS3
Kindle
2 Androids
2 Bluray players
First song I'm playing on the PS3 is Judas Priest's 'Breakin the Law' aww yeah!
Here's your jump again: http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?active_page=6059
Many thanks!

Thanks for the direct link. I disabled IGMP proxy but my iTunes Home Sharing still disconnects after a few minutes? Do I need to disable the IGMP in the routing sections of Advanced Settings as well or something else?

I've got the MI424WR Rev E. and just recently streaming from my Windows 7 PC to my xbox stopped working. Had the same setup and router for almost a year and worked without issue.
Tried everything I could think of one Saturday afternoon to no avail. A call to verizon tech support didn't help either. Finally decided to get the router swapped at my nearest verizon store. Streaming worked fine when I first set it up, but to my surpise later in the evening it stopped working again.
Disabling IGMP Proxy as suggested in this thread immedietly fixed the issue. Thanks for the help!

I have major issues with my Actiontec router, I can't see any of my DLNA devices. I tried the following fixes:
1. Changing the IGMP proxy settings - I had no options on the router to do this until I found a link that took me to this option directly and by disablingit I couldn't see my DLNA DEVICES.
2.I tired changing the IP Address Distribution and again this did not work
3. I tried messing with the IVP6 settings and again no luck.
I have called Verizon mutliple times and they cannot give me the Westell 9100em router that worked with all my DLNA devices. Does anyone have any other ideas, I now have a non-fuctioning home network because of this rubbish router.

I'm new to the forums and unfortunately finding where to create a new forum question has evaded me.
I'm trying to create a DLNA for home so I can stream my videos from my computer over the WiFi to my PS3, Xbox360, and WiFI Vizio TV, and mobile devices. The problem is I can't get the server (using Univerial Media Server) to find any devices. I've spent the past couple days browsing the forums and trying to find a solution, but so far nothing has worked. A lot of people have said disabling IGMP will fix the issue, but so far that alone hasn't resolved the problem. I did find another forum where someone mentioned disabling DHCP in the router, and when I did that I instantly saw my PS3 pop up as a renderer. It appears the problem is because my PC is connected directly to the router (MI424WR Actiontech), while my PS3 is connected over the wireless (downstairs). The connection from the ONT is MoCa and not ethernet. Since it appears the issue is with the wireless and DHCP from the Actiontech, I was considering purchasing another router and setting up a transparent bridge between the Actiontech and a Cisco/Linksys EA4500, but it appears Verizon nor Actiontech don't support it. Does anybody have any solutions to get this to work? If it's possible without using the Cisco, I'd prefer that, but anything at this point would be great. If you need more details I'll gladly provide them.
Thank you,
Lee

DHCP should have nothing to do with it. DHCP is just for dynamically configuring a device's network parameters to allow it to access your network. Wired v. wireless should have nothing to do with it either. To your network, a device is a device is a device. It's simply an IP address on your network.
Does your DLNA server show up on any of your devices (DLNA clients)?
Have you opened up the firewall to allow DLNA traffic on the PC that's running Universal Media Server? If you want to test whether it's a firewall blocking the traffic or not just turn your firewall completely off to test it. I'm referring to the software firewall on your computer, not the one on the router. The one on the router is the more critical one as it blocks unwanted incoming internet traffic. The one on your PC only blocks traffic flowing to/from that PC for other devices on your network. Just be careful if you have not secured your wireless network.
If that still doesn't fix it, before buying a new router I'd try a different media server. I'm using WMP on Windows XP. It simplifies things because WMP automatically modifies the firewall rules to allow DLNA for the devices you select. I've also had tversity working with no problems.

Hi I just wanted to update everyone.
Today, I tried to connect my DLNA to my android (the issue that started this thread), and I found it not working again... Once again it took me about 30 minutes to remember that the problem was this... I checked and somehow it did reset, and was now enabled again.. I disabled and everything works good!
Firmware: 20.19.8
