VLAN tag groups to the bridge.

Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group

If the devices that are connected to the modem 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 modem router's Internet interface.
A bridge with a port group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the modem router's Internet
port from being processed through the modem 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 WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem 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 Group check box.
The page expands.
