Set up a bridge for a port group
If the device that is connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN port includes 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
router network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router admin 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 the Port1 check box.
8.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
