Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router

Enable the Bridge or Add a VLAN Tag Group

Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot work behind a router’s network address translation

(NAT) or firewall. Based on what your Internet Service Provider (ISP) requires, in order 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.

Enable the Bridge

If your device, such as an IPTV, is connected to the router’s Ethernet port or WiFi network,

you can enable the bridge so that the packets sent between the device and the router’s

Internet port are not processed through the router’s network address translation (NAT).

 To enable the bridge:

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.

A login screen displays.

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 screen displays.

4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN/IPTV Setup.

The VLAN/IPTV Setup screen displays.

5. Select the Enable VLAN/IPTV Setup check box.

6. Select the By bridge group radio button.

7. Select a Wired Ports check box or a Wireless check box:

• If your device is connected to an Ethernet port on the router, select a Wired Ports

check box that corresponds to the Ethernet port on the router that the device is

connected to.

• If your device is connected to your router’s WiFi network, select a Wireless check box

that corresponds to the router’s WiFi network that the device is connected to.

Note: You must select at least one Wired Ports or Wireless check box. You

can select more than one check box.

8. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.
