Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group or VLAN Tag Group

Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the 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 router’s Internet port or add new VLAN tag groups

to the bridge.

If your ISP provides directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet service, follow

those directions.

Note

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 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 WiFi device that is connected to the network.

2.

Enter

.

A login window opens.

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.

To add a VLAN tag group and enable the bridge:

1.

Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

Specify Basic WiFi Settings

The router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), network key (password),

and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.You can find the preset SSID and password on

the router label.

The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and

maximize your WiFi security.

Note

We recommend that you do not change your preset security settings.

If you change your preset security settings,

make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place where you can easily find it.

If you use a WiFi connection to change the SSID or other WiFi security settings, you are disconnected when you

click the

Apply

button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the router.
