NETGEAR Nighthawk RS700 User Manual

Set up a bridge for a port group
If the devices that are connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN port or WiFi network
include an IPTV device, your ISP might require you to set up a bridge for the IPTV device
and the router's Internet interface without a virtual local area network (VLAN) tag.
A bridge with a port group does not use VLAN tags and 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 displays.
3.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. 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 Settings 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:
• Wired Ports: If your device is connected to an Ethernet LAN port on the router,
select the Wired Ports check box that corresponds to the Ethernet LAN port on
the router to which the device is connected.
• Wireless: 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.
