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 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.
