SFR box configuration issue with Xiaomi Ax 1800 router

Hello,

To have better Wi-Fi, I turned off the Wi-Fi on my SFR box and I'm using a Xiaomi Ax 1800 router.

I connected my TV, PC, server, and the SFR TV box to the router via Ethernet.

However, the problem is that my SFR TV box can only stream TV if it is directly connected to the SFR box. So there's no TV on my SFR TV box.

I'm thinking of reconnecting everything to the box (TV, PC, server, SFR TV box) and then it works well except that from my PC, I no longer have access to the Chromecasts which are on Wi-Fi coming from the Wi-Fi router.

I don't understand why it's not working...

I previously had a similar setup with a Freebox and it worked.

I'm losing my mind.

Help me please.

    Hello.

    Configure your router as an access point.

    Hello,

    A point to consider. When you want a more efficient Wi-Fi, you should take a Wi-Fi access point, not a router. Because the latter's main function is to create a local network, in addition to that of the box, where devices connected to both networks will no longer see each other. You need to look at the router's settings to disable its routing function (notably the DHCP), which can be referred to as a bypass mode. And only leave it with the Wi-Fi broadcasting function, while the box retains control of the local network.

    Thank you, but apparently I don't see any option to delete the router function.

    Hello,

    it's normal indeed for the DLNA streams from TV boxes, you need to be on the same local network, all Wi-Fi routers can act as access points, you just need to connect them via a LAN port to the box.

    And there you go ....

    But misery, it's so annoying with the line spacing !!
