8900AX-2400 & switch - Youview config

[kortex]

Hi all,

Hopefully that should be an easy answer. Thanks to this post from billion_fan, I am confident that if I purchase a 8900AX-2400 to replace my 7800N, BT TV Youview should work: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=13304&p=27042&hilit=youview#p27031

However, the procedure requires the Youview PVR to be connected directly to the router. In my setup, the PVR is connected to a Layer 3 switch which is the only network element connected to the router. Would the procedure still work if I was to put in the LAN configuration the port of the switch instead?

BTW, that was my first post!

Thanks,
Kortex

Nope won't work, as the setup guide isolates the port so multicast packets don't flood all ports/wireless networks

Only option is use a wired connection between the router and you view box, or use a home plug connection between the two

Ok. Thanks for the prompt answer!
