If your ISP provides directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet service,
follow those directions.
Note
Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group
If the devices that are connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN port or WiFi network include an IPTV device,
your ISP might require you to set up a bridge for a port group for the router’s Internet interface.
A bridge with a port group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the router’s Internet
port from being processed through the router’s network address translation (NAT) service.
To configure a port group and enable the bridge:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN/Bridge Settings.
The VLAN / Bridge Settings page displays.
5.
Select the Enable VLAN/Bridge Settings check box.
The page expands.
6.
Select the By bridge group radio button.
The section expands.
7.
Select a Wired Ports check box or a Wireless check box:
•
If your device is connected to an Ethernet port on the router, select the Wired Ports check box that
corresponds to the Ethernet port on the router to which the device is connected.
•
If your device is connected to your router’s WiFi network, select the Wireless check box that
corresponds to the router’s WiFi network to which the device is connected.
You must select at least one Wired Ports or Wireless check box. You can select more
than one check box.
