-therefore, multicast network misconfiguration or other deficiencies can appear as UPnP issues rather than underlying network issues. If IGMP snooping is enabled on a switch, or more commonly a wireless router/switch, it will interfere with UPnP/DLNA device discovery (SSDP) if incorrectly or incompletely configured (e.g. without an active querier or IGMP proxy), making UPnP appear unreliable. Typical scenarios observed include a server or client (e.g. smart TV) appearing after power on, and then disappearing after a few minutes (often 30 by default configuration) due to IGMP group membership expiring. On this very topic please beware of the wireless multicast forwarding under [[advanced-wireless|Advanced Wireless]]+Caution is advisedas often, UPnP is the only significant multicast application in use on a home network. Thus, multicast configuration issues or other deficiencies can appear as UPnP issues, when they're actually underlying network issues.

 **Force IGMPv2** - IGMPv2 enhances the IGMP communication supporting additional messages/behavior to optimise the end-to-end communication between client and server. Possibly the most important being the "Group Leave" message which is lacking instead in IGMP v1.\\   \\ **Force IGMPv2** - IGMPv2 enhances the IGMP communication supporting additional messages/behavior to optimise the end-to-end communication between client and server.
