Which router with multicast IPTV stream will pass flood test?

What I need?

router with gigabit ports
VLAN support
WiFi 2.4/5GHz
IGMP Snooping (nice to have)
easy firmware update (without any issue such like reset to default settings after update)
most important there shouldn't be any multicast packet drop (i.e. no pixels squares) during testing procedure

Testing configuration looks like

internet tariff: 300 Mb/s download and 150 Mb/s upload
two laptops in LAN ports 1 and 2
one STB MAG 255 in LAN port 3 with full HD stream
one IPTV multicast probe STB-1001S2 with IPERF in LAN port 4

What did the test procedure look like?

download multiple torrents to saturate of tariff limits
flooooofig with hping3 --flood IP
parallel download 10GB files to two laptops

Which router did I tested?

Uplink WR1200AC => FAIL
Totolink A3002RU => FAIL
RB951G-2HnD => FAIL
D-Link DIR-842 C3 => FAIL
D-Link DIR-825/EE rev G1 => PASS
TP-Link Archer C6 v2.0 => FAIL
TP-Link Archer C5 v4.0 (no VLAN support) => FAIL

All failed routers generates STBPlayer: TS Continuity Counter error on multicast probe.

Only one D-Link DIR-825/EE pass all test.

What problem registred multicast probe?

.. and tested Mikrotik configuration
