Some IPTV ports cannot work behind NAT because the IPTV port requires an IP address within
the Internet service provider's network (intranet address). You can set up a bridge connection
from the WAN to one of the LAN ports. When IPTV is connected through WiFi, the home router
also must support the bridging of the WAN port to the WiFi network name (SSID). The designated
LAN port or WiFi name becomes an IPTV port with direct access to the WAN without going
through NAT.
To configure an IPTV port:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
network.
2.
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.
3.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN/Bridge Settings. The VLAN/Bridge
Settings page displays.
4.
Select the Enable VLAN/Bridge Setup check box. The page expands.
5.
Select the By bridge group radio button. The page expands.
6.
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.
7.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Manage custom static routes
Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless you use multiple routers or multiple IP
subnets on your network.
