Does xfinity X1 router support multicast broadcasts?

Does xfinity X1 router support multicast broadcasts?

I have a skybell that won't communicate notifications (video is fine, just no notifications) with my alarm panel because it requires the wifi router to support multicast broadcasts.

I've troubleshooted this for days & the this is the last item that it could possibly be! Yes, the skybell & the panel are both on the same 2.4 network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and Happy Sunday, ! I hope you’re having a great weekend so far! I also appreciate you taking a moment out of your day to reach out to us on our Community Forums! You’ve reached the best place and perfect person to help with virtually all of your account needs! Going forward, I believe enabling Device Discovery should help great in your home network situations as it will allow devices to automatically discover each other's presence and begin sharing data. You can actually configure this setting right within the router's UI by logging in and following the process here: https://comca.st/3ddFUzn. Please let me know if this helps and thanks again for your time!

Just be aware that there may be some potential security vulnerabilities involved when using features like device discovery / network discovery / UPnP. Trading  security for convenience may not always be good practice. YMMV. You can Google for more info.
