AC2000 Smart WiFi Router When the router functions as a WiFi bridge, you cannot change its WiFi settings, that is, the settings on the Wireless Network page (BASIC > Wireless) are masked out. However, if you want to reverse the configuration, you can disable the WiFi bridge option (that is, clear the use other operation mode check box) on the Advanced Wireless Settings page (ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Advanced Wireless Settings). 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. Note: If your ISP provides instructions for how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet service, follow those instruction. 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 mobile device that is connected to the router network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 3. Enter the router admin user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN/Bridge Settings. Manage Network Settings 108 User Manual
