I can’t find my UPnP or DLNA server with Powerline Connection.
Products influenced

Note: Refer to FAQ 46 in case you don’t know how to find the hardware version.
Customer Scenario
Multi-media devices are connected by powerline adapters.
Problem Description
When Media Server is enabled, the media files can’t be detected by the media player, like Smart TV/PS3/XBOX 360, even no media/UPnP server can be detected.
Root cause of the problem
SSDP packets (239.255.255.250) are not forwarded correctly in powerline network. It should be broadcasted to all powerline clients, but only forwarded to the multicast group. So, if the media server is not in the group, it will not be detected by others through UPnP(DLNA).
