Hi guys.

I have UFB from Orcon and I'm using a Mikrotik with a WIFI Router.

I have followed this article on how to setup the mikrotik part, which is working fine (apparently).

My problem is with my Smart Android TV. It is connected via cable to my Router - which is in Bridge mode - but I am not able to access Youtube nor browse the internet. Netflix works!

Plugging my laptop to the same router via cable, everything works! I'm quite confused here.

Any suggestions, please?

Cheers,

Lucas

The TV is using DHCP, so the DNS is the ISP's ones.

Also, I can't disable IPV6 from the WIFI router. It is not showing me this option.

On Mikrotik there is no IPV6 enabled.

Yes, pretty sure. I have IPV6 address on my desktop, but not in the internet.

Why are you still using the Mikrotik with your $800 router you bought? You shouldn’t need to use the Mikrotik...

Just an update for those having the same issue:

After turning the TV off and on, the issue happened again. I went to the Sony's website and saw there was an update available. Installed it, have restarted the TV several times and it seems to be all good now.

Because the $800 router still can't be a half-decent VPN server 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well... $600 dollars router (not $800) and yes, it is a lot of money but it was the only way I was able to have a decent and constant internet speed.... and I'm happy about it! ;-)
