Set Up a VLAN IPTV 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 VLAN IPTV bridge for a port group for the modem router's
Internet interface.
A VLAN IPTV 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 VLAN IPTV bridge:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter .routerlogin.
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/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.
