Set Up a Bridge to Your ISP's Network Using a VLAN Tag Group

For some devices, such as IPTVs, that are connected to the router's Ethernet LAN ports or WiFi network,
your ISP might require you to use a VLAN tag group to set up a bridge to the router's Internet interface and,
effectively, your ISP's network.
If you are subscribed to a service such as IPTV, the router might require VLAN tags to distinguish between
the Internet traffic and the IPTV traffic. A bridge with a VLAN tag group prevents packets that are sent
between the device and the router's Internet port from being processed through the router's Network Address
Translation (NAT) service.
You can add VLAN tag groups to a bridge and assign VLAN IDs and priority values to each VLAN tag group.
To set up a bridge to your ISP's network using a VLAN tag group:
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 Dashboard displays.
4.
Select Settings > Advanced Settings > VLAN/Bridge Settings.
The VLAN/Bridge Settings page displays.
5.
Select the Enable VLAN/Bridge group check box.
