Enable and Configure a VLAN
A network of computers and devices can behave as if they were connected to the same network even
though they might actually be physically on different segments of a LAN. Virtual LANs (VLANs) are
configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them very flexible.
If you enable a VLAN and if the network devices (hubs and switches) on your LAN support the VLAN
(802.1Q) standard, the VLAN ID for the wireless access point is associated with all traffic coming from
the modem router.
If you are subscribed to IPTV service, the
modem router
might require VLAN tags to distinguish between
the Internet traffic and the IPTV traffic.
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
If your ISP provides directions for how to set up VLANs for IPTV and Internet service,
follow those directions.
Note
To enable and configure a VLAN for the virtual Internet interface and another VLAN for the virtual
IPTV interface:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

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 router
can 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
