Model : TL-WA801ND

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 151217

ISP : N/A

So I have a TL-WA801ND, and have been beating my head against a wall with this issue but realized what going on.

3.16.9 Build 151217 was supposed to fix "1.Fixed a bug that the device would enable IGMP proxy by default and it may influence IPTV."

Apparently this is still not fixed when Multi SSID is used, or something else is causing this device to block propagation of multicast from the Ethernet to the wireless on any of the SSIDs/VLANs

This breaks anything that uses multicast on the network including IPv6 RA/ND and such as that is multicast.

Switching device back to Single SSID allow multicast to work, but the mine reason I got this AP is for Multi SSID, but if it cant even forward multicast properly its useless.

This seems to be a problem, maybe you can feedback to TP-LINK support team.
support.usa@tp-link.com

They will fix this and send you a beta.

They finally responded had me send the config and logs etc.. Now here is the odd thing, this device is a WiFi AP only, not routing no NAT no WAN, yet it has as shown in the logs these enabled, PPTP Passthrough, L2TP Passthrough, IPSEC Passthrough, FTP ALG, TFTP ALG, H323 ALG, RTSP ALG, SIP ALG.

That make 0 sense and if they have all of that stuff in there, what else is needlessly in there causing issues.

Got a beta from them, they fixed the issue on one SSID, #3, but SSID 1 and 2 were still affected.. waiting for the next,.

I still dont get why a basic WiFi AP, a Layer 2 device has so much "baggage" installed and running. Should not be more then bridging interface to interface. yet it has all those ALGs and passthrough helpers. I could see IGMP, IF if had at least an on/off setting.
