The router supports three kinds of IPTV configuration according to your ISP
IPTV based on IGMP.
IPTV in Bridge mode.
IPTV in Custom mode.
MAC
You can change the default MAC address of the WAN port or LAN port according to your needs.
Switch
The router supports some basic switch port management functions, like Port Mirror, Rate Control, Flow Control and Port Negotiation, to help you to monitor the traffic and manage the network effectively.
VLAN
The router supports 802.1Q VLAN, which can divide the LAN into multiple VLANs, helping to manage the network more effectively.
IPv6
You can set up an IPv6 internet connection if your ISP provides IPv6 service.

Static IP: If your ISP provides you with a fixed IP address and the corresponding parameters, choose Static IP.
Dynamic IP: If your ISP automatically assigns the IP address and the corresponding parameters, choose Dynamic IP.
PPPoE: If your ISP provides you with a PPPoE account, choose PPPoE. L2TP: If your ISP provides you with an L2TP account, choose L2TP. PPTP: If your ISP provides you with a PPTP account, choose PPTP.
BigPond Cable: If your ISP provides you with a BigPond Cable account, choose BigPond Cable. BigPond Cable is only available for Australian users.

|
|
|
MTU is the maximum data unit transmitted in the physical network. When Dynamic |

VLAN |
Add the WAN port to a VLAN. Generally, you don’t need to manually configure it |
|
|
|
unless required by your ISP. |
|
|
|
By default, the WAN port is automatically assigned to a VLAN, and the egress rule of |
|
|
|
the VLAN is UNTAG, so the packets are transmitted by the WAN port without VLAN |
|
|
|
tags. If you want the WAN port to transmit packets with VLAN tag, you need to create |
|
|
|
the corresponding VLAN first and configure its egress rule as TAG, then manually |
|
|
|
add the WAN port to that VLAN. To create VLANs, go to Network > VLAN > VLAN. |
|
|
|
Note: When using the IPTV function, either in Bridge mode or Custom mode, |
|
|
|
the router will automatically create corresponding VLANs after you finished the |
|
|
|
configuration, and add port 1 (WAN 1) to the VLANs. Users cannot then manually |
|
|
|
select the VLAN that WAN 1 belongs to. |
