Enable Bridge Mode for IPTV Devices
Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the modem 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 modem
router’s IPTV virtual interface. In bridge mode, by default, the LAN 4 port on the back panel of the modem
router is bound to the IPTV virtual interface.
In addition to connecting an IPTV device to the LAN 4 port, you can connect an IPTV device to the LAN
3 port and another one to the LAN 2 port.That is, the modem routercan support up to three IPTV devices.
The LAN 1 port is reserved for a wired Internet connection. Do not connect an IPTV device to the LAN 1
port.
For information about enabling and configuring the virtual IPTV interface, see one of the following sections:
• Manually Set Up an ADSL Internet Connection on page 51
• Manually Set Up a VDSL Internet Connection on page 63
• Manually Set Up a Cable or Fiber Internet Connection on page 73

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
