Airplay and Bonjour on Peplink MAX BR1 Mini 5G HW2 (WiFi)

I have the above hardware updated to latest firmware (I do not remember and am not near the device). Airplay works initially just fine, then after several minutes to hours, I can no longer connect to Airplay devices via Wi-Fi. Network is completely Wi-Fi, no ethernet LAN, no VLAN. To get it to work again for the brief time, I’ve toggled one of Inter-VLAN Routing (normally on), DNS Proxy (normally on), IGMP Snooping (normally off), Layer2 Isolation (normally off), and Multicast Filtering (normally off) on/off, rebooted, and it works - for a while. All Airplay-compatible devices (AppleTV, for example) on the network are shown as active Clients with proper IP addresses, and they have access to WAN via the MAX BR1. There do not seem to be any Bonjour settings on this device. Configuration is basically “out of the box”.

Is there something I should be trying?

Bonjour settings are located on the Network tab / LAN heading / Network Settings subheading, then scroll down to the bottom:

(This is from a Balance One, I don’t know if the BR1 supports these features?)

Thank you for the suggestion. This menu is not available on this device. And, I’m not trying to forward Bonjour from one LAN to another. All on the same LAN.

Since I can get it to work initially, something must be changing after the initial setting change and reboot. Maybe the quality of the network degrades somehow over time?

Set differents WiFi AP for example one 2,4Ghz and one 5Ghz.

And read this topic: Pepwave Max BR1 Mini Wifi is very slow

Personally I am not using Airplay but I’ve experienced the above mentioned problems !


This is what I see browsing the domain after rebooting the device. These services all disappear after some time. So, it works until it doesn’t.
