Thanks so much for the help. I am a swiss sunrise zyxel P-660hn owner and just got an apple tv. It didn’t work and finally found this (and some other forums). I was thinking that apple tv was a waste or that i would need a new router and getting angrier and angrier. Thanks to you guys everything is working perfectly and I can go to bed happilly!!!

Thank you Matt and Andrea. I checked this out many months ago and play around with multicast value .. unsuccessfully … now after I unchecked IGMP Snooping … it works perfectly.

Thank you so much for this thread!
My problem was with Airprint on a Zyxel P-660HN.
I initially enabled Multicast IGMPv3 which allowed me to print once. I then unticked IGMP Snooping under WLAN settings, and now it seems to be working perfectly.

Thanks again!

You are a life saver, I felt it was because of the router but I had no way of knowing. I’ve been searching for months for this. Thank you so much/

Thanks for the extra info, Andrea. I guess this means that those of us with ZyXEL P-660HNs should also make sure to disable “IGMP snooping” in Network->Wireless LAN->Advanced. Not sure whether there’s an equivalent of the “mcenable” setting for the P-660HN; it doesn’t appear in the CLI.

Hi,

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I’ve had this issue of connexion between my computer and aiport express/airtunes since I switched from an old ZyXel to ZyXel 660H, I could not find a good solution online for several months and was really annoyed. You saved the day

ZyXEL UK: you might want to say something about it to your counterparts Switzerland as ZyXEL is the most common router sent to customer of Sunrise, a large phone company…
