Set Up An Iptv Port To Lease An Intranet Port - NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S User Manual

Set Up an IPTV Port to Lease an Intranet Port

You can set up the router to create an Internet Protocol television (IPTV) port that can lease an IP address from
your IPTV service provider. Use this feature only if you subscribe to an IPTV service and your IPTV service requires
an intranet address.
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 WiFi 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 Group check box.
The page expands.
6. Select the By bridge group radio button.
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.
