The Wireless AP page displays.
6. Select the Enable AP Mode check box.
The page adjusts.
7. Select an IP address setting:
•
Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns
an IP address to this router while it is in AP mode.
•
Use fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if you
want to manually assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode.
Using this option effectively requires advanced network experience.
Note: To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, we
recommend that you use different WiFi settings on each router. You can also turn
off the WiFi radio on the other router or gateway and use this router only for WiFi
client access.
8. Click the Apply button.
The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected.
9.
To reconnect, close and restart your browser and type http://www.routerlogin.net.
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 device that is connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN port includes an IPTV device,
your ISP might require you to set up a bridge for a port group for the router’s Internet
interface.
