Note:
If your ISP provides instructions for how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet
service, follow those instruction.
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
router network.
2. Enter
http://www.routerlogin.net
.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN/Bridge Settings
.
The VLAN/IPTV Setup page displays.
5. Select the
Enable VLAN Tag
check box.
The page expands.
6. Select the
By bridge group
radio button.
The page 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.
Note:
You must select at least one Wired Ports or Wireless check box. You can select
more than one check box.
