AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router WAC124 Router mode: Enable an IPTV bridge for a port group or VLAN tag group If the access point/router is in router mode, some devices, such as an Internet Protocol television (IPTV), cannot function behind the access point/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 a bridge either between the device and the access point/router's WAN (Internet) port or between the device and a VLAN tag group. Note: If your ISP provides directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet service, follow those directions. Note: The information in this section and subsections does not apply if the access point/router is in access point mode. Router mode: Enable an IPTV bridge for a port group If the access point/router is in router mode and an IPTV device is connected to a LAN port or WiFi radio, your ISP might require you to set up a bridge for a port group for the access point/router's WAN (Internet) interface. A bridge with a port group allows packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the access point/router WAN port to circumvent the access point/router's NAT service, which otherwise could drop the packets. To enable the IPTV bridge for a port group: 1. Open a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the access point/router network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field. If you are not connected to the access point/router network but to the same network as the access point/router, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point/router. If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point/router on page 29. The Sign-In page displays. You are prompted to sign in with your NETGEAR account. If the access point/router is not connected to the Internet, you are prompted to sign in with the local login credentials (see Log in to the access point/router when it is not connected to the Internet on page 28). 3. Click the Login button. Manage the Network Settings 125 User Manual
