Figure 8. Router in bridge mode with an 802.11ac WiFi connection
Installing your router as a bridge offers the following benefits:
•You can take advantage of gigabit WiFi speeds on current devices.
•Use gigabit WiFi for applications like video and gaming.
•Connect multiple devices like a NAS, smart TV, NeoTV, Blu-ray player, and game consoles at gigabit WiFi
speeds using a WiFi link.
•Avoid the need for separate WiFi adapters for each device.
For example, you could install the first router in a room such...

If your ISP provides directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet service, follow
those directions.
Note
Set Up a Bridge for a Port Group
If the devices that are connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN port or WiFi network include an IPTV device, your
ISP might require you to set up a bridge for a port group for the router’s Internet interface.
A bridge with a port group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the router’s Internet port
from being processed through the...

Set Up an IPTV Port to Lease an Intranet 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...

Optimize Performance
You can set up the router to optimize performance for applications such as Internet gaming, high-definition video
streaming, and VoIP communication. By default, the router uses Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS).
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Use Dynamic QoS to Optimize Internet Traffic Management on page 89
•Improve Network Connections With Universal Plug and Play on page 92
•Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service on page 93

Use Dynamic QoS to Optimize Internet Traffic Management
Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) helps improve your router’s Internet traffic management capabilities through better
application and device identification, bandwidth allocation, and traffic prioritization techniques. Dynamic QoS resolves
traffic congestion when the Internet bandwidth is limited and different demands compete for bandwidth.
Figure 9. Dynamic QoS optimizes Internet traffic by prioritizing competing demands

Because...

5.Select the Dynamic QoS check box.
6.Specify your Internet bandwidth.
You must specify your Internet bandwidth so that Dynamic QoS can perform bandwidth allocation and traffic
prioritization.We recommend that you use Speedtest to detect your Internet bandwidth.
To use Speedtest, do the following:
a.For more accurate Speedtest results, make sure that no other devices are accessing the Internet.
b.Click the Speedtest button.
Speedtest determines your Internet bandwidth.
