Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group or VLAN Tag Group
Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the router's Network Address Translation (NAT)
service or firewall. Based on what your Internet service provider (ISP) requires, for the device to connect to
the ISP's network directly, you can enable the bridge between the device and the router's Internet port or
add new VLAN tag groups to the bridge.
Note
If your ISP provides directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet service,
follow those directions.
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 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 / IPTV Setup.
The VLAN / IPTV Setup page displays.
5.
Select the Enable VLAN/IPTV Setup 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 Devices 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.
