Interested to hear that the streaming from media servers across the VF Broadband router to a smart TV is a known issue, I migrated to VF Broadband in Feb16 and discovered the issue almost immediately during the setup of my home network. In additional Apple AirPlay from iPad to AV Receiver and TV Remote apps don't connect/function and any mobile devices that previously could throw any content onto the TV, don't work through this router ... I've had 'several' conversations with VF Cust Services and 2nd line tech support even declined to speak to me, even though previously they acknowledged that they knew about this issue and they were supposedly developing a firmware revision to fix it, due in Feb16. After a month of ineffective conversations, the only offer from VF was you can terminate your contract without charge, no thanks I said, I want VF to take some responsibility and fix what should be a standard feature on what they describe as 'latest technology' .... and when they've sorted that maybe they can look at the app, as to say it's 'buggy and ineffective' is being quite generous 
UPDATE 16th MAR16
Other threads on this issue have offered a solution which is to disconnect the NAS from the VF Router and connect it to a Ethernet switch (... if you have one!!) Fortunately I have all my media devices (TV, AV Receiver, etc) connected to a single 8 port switch locally and hard wired back to the router, so I plugged the NAS in and guess what .... it worked!! BUT still not able to stream wirelessly from mobile devices to TV or AV Receiver, so in my mind it confirms without doubt the issue is definatley with DLNA streaming via the VF router. The Ethernet switch is just a convenient workaround for the NAS issue, not a permanent solution to the whole problem!!
Don't fiddle with your router settings, it won't solve the overall problem, this one is for VF to sort it and upgrade the current firmware ... question is, will your patience run out or will VF get it fixed first, GAME ON!!
