Set Up An Iptv Port - NETGEAR Nighthawk AX6 Series User Manual

Set up an IPTV 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 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 password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. 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 Setup check box.
The page expands.
6. Select the By bridge group radio button.
The page expands.
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.
Note: You must select at least one Wired Ports or Wireless check box. You can select
more than one check box.
