Set Up a Bridge for a VLAN Tag Group
If the devices that are connected to the
router
’s Ethernet LAN ports or WiFi network include an IPTV
device, your ISP might require you to set up a bridge for a VLAN tag group for the
router
’s Internet interface.
If you are subscribed to IPTV service, the
router
might require VLAN tags to distinguish between the
Internet traffic and the IPTV traffic. A bridge with a VLAN tag 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.
You can add VLAN tag groups to a bridge and assign VLAN IDs and priority values to each VLAN tag
group.

Use WPS to Add a Device to the WiFi Network
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device to the router’s network without
entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a
WPS
button or enter a PIN to connect.
If you use the push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must provide either a
physical button or a software button. If you use the PIN method, you must know the PIN of the WiFi device
that you are trying to connect.
WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your router network is open (no WiFi security is set, which
is not the default setting for the router), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi
security on the router network and generates a random passphrase.You can view this passphrase (see
Specify Basic WiFi Settings
on page 162).
Use WPS With the Push Button Method
For you to use the push button method to connect a WiFi device to the router’s WiFi network, the WiFi
device that you are trying to connect must provide either a physical button or a software button.You can
use the physical button and software button to let a WiFi device join only the main WiFi network, not the
guest WiFi network.
To let a WiFi device join the router’s main WiFi network using WPS with the push button method:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select
ADVANCED > WPS Wizard
.
The page displays a description of the WPS method.
5.
Click the
Next
button.
