Set up an IPTV port
You can set up the router to create an Internet Protocol television (IPTV) port that can
lease an IP address from your IPTV service provider. Use this feature only if you subscribe
to an IPTV service and your IPTV service requires an intranet address.
Some IPTV ports cannot work behind NAT because the IPTV port requires an IP address
within the Internet service provider's network (intranet address). You can set up a bridge
connection from the WAN to one of the LAN ports. When IPTV is connected through
WiFi, the home router also must support the bridging of the WAN port to the WiFi
network name (SSID). The designated LAN port or WiFi name becomes an IPTV port
with direct access to the WAN without going through NAT.
