Nighthawk X6 AC3000 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, 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 a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com in the address field of the

web browser.

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 VLAN/IPTV Setup screen displays.

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