How to get working on DLNA w/ routerOS and googleWifi

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi All,

I am a newbie on using mikrotik router. Currently I am facing a problem using with Google WIFI. My setup as below:

Router (Wired port 2) → NAS & other PCs
|_>(Wired port 3) Google WIFI → All other mobile devices + chromecast & google home

Now I cannot find the chromecast and google home device via my network (DLNA). I believe this is the double NAT issue which I cannot set google wifi containing the same subnet with mikrotik router. So is there any ways to set in mikrotik router to solve the problem? Thank you very much if anyone can suggest a way to solve the problem.

Your local network should be bridged or switched internally. Just the outer world should be behind a nat and firewall.

Hi every body,
I’m also interesting by this topic.
I’m trying to manage Upnp and DLNA between two different networks. I can’t use the igmp proxy because I use it for an other purpose, and routerOS allow only one upstream.
So, what’s the best way to forward multicast frame (udp 1900) to different network ?
Do we need to use PIM ? Routes ?..

At this stage I try with PIM
I added a route on the server DLNA and added 2 interfaces in PIM routing but I have the following error message : Fail to open MRT socket
Any advice ?

I answer to myself if that help someone, the error come from igmp-proxy. You can’t use PIM and igmp-proxy or you will have this socket error.
Disabled igmp-proxy do you configuration on with PIM, that should work.
PIM is a good answer for DLNA and Upnp configuration at home.
