To view IP-TV on your computer, you need to configure your wi-fi router for this. Consider the settings of various models of wireless routers using examples of common models.

Setting up IP-TV for Asus routers

Setting up IPTV for Asus Ver. 1.0.x (on the example of Asus RT-G32)

There are two setting options.

Option 1.

We go to LAN, select the tab Route Yes(Yes). Save - “ Apply”.

Now you need to select the port of the router through which we will watch IP-TV. Go to the section WAN-> Internet connection (Internet Connection) and specify the port number.

Advantages:

• There is no need to make any additional settings for the VLC player.

Flaws:

• The ability to connect a computer to view IPTV only via an Ethernet cable.
• Slow work with the Internet on other computers on the local network when IPTV is watched on one.
• Unnecessary multicast traffic within the network.

Option 2.

Set up the “IPTV UDP Multicast to HTTP Proxy” function. We go to LAN, select the tab Route. In the window that opens, check the box Enable multicast routing” (Enable multicast routing) - Yes(Yes). In field " IPTV UDP Multicast to HTTP Proxy” select an arbitrary port. In the example - 2323 . Save - “ Apply”.

Advantages:

• The ability to watch IPTV on a computer, even if it is connected via WiFi.
• Other computers on the local network do not experience difficulties when working with the Internet.
• The router is not loaded.
• The multicast stream is not broadcast to the internal network, and the LVC player takes a video stream from the RT-G32.

Flaws:

The playlist for the media player needs to be changed. Changes to be made to the VLC playlist when using the IPTV UDP Multicast to HTTP Proxy function:

1. Open the playlist in a text editor.
2. We see lines like - udp://@239.23.0.200:1234/ and delete the selected part.
3. Instead of the remote udp://@ part, insert - http://192.168.1.1:2323/udp/ , where 192.168.1.1 is the local address of your RT-G32, 2323 is the proxy port you have chosen.
4. You will get the following line - http://192.168.1.1:2323/udp/239.23.0.200:1234/
5. In one fell swoop, you can make such a replacement in all lines of the playlist using Microsoft Word. Press “Ctrl + F” --> “Replace” tab.

Instructions for setting up IP-TV for Asus ver. 3.0.0.x (on the example of Asus RT-N66U)

1. Create a connection for IPTV on the modem: connection in bridge mode with VPI and VCI values ​​\u200b\u200bfor ip-tv (check with your provider).
2. Come in WAN -> IPTV. In field IPTV STB port selection specify the LAN port to which the IPTV set-top box will be connected. Put a dot on IPTV RTSP Passthrough.

Setting up IP-TV for D-Link

Setting up IP-TV on D-Link DIR-615 ver. E

We go to Advanced -> Advanced Network. Put a check mark on Enable UPnP and Enable Multicast Streams. We save the settings. Now you can connect stb or watch ip-tv on your computer from any port.

Setting up IP-TV on D-Link DIR-615 ver. 1.3.x

Option 1.

LAN ports and combining it with WAN port router

We go to Setting up IP-TV.

Next, select a port or several ports for IPTV, click on it, and the color of the port should change to green. After the port is selected, click change;. Next click Save.

Option 2.

Name Vlan let it be IPTV Type of - Transparent, Vlan ID we put the one that is used on your home switch (you need to find it out in the technical support of the provider). In our example, this is 16. Then we select the port on which we will watch IP-TV and set its type Untagged. We press the button Save changes.

Now we add Port 5, but we already select the Tagget type for it. In fact, we combine port 5 (Wan port) and port 1 (from which we will watch IP-TV).

If you did everything correctly, it should turn out as in the picture below (look at the IP-TV line)

Setting up IP-TV on D-Link DIR-615 ver. 1.4.x

Option 1. Configuration without traffic tagging

In this case, the meaning of the setting is reduced to the separation of one of the four LAN ports and combining it with WAN port. With this setting, the set-top box looks directly into the provider's network, as if through router, i.e. as if the provider's cable was connected directly to the set-top box.

Click tab IP TV.

Next, select a port or several ports for IPTV, click on it, and the color of the port should change to green (in our example, this is Lan 4). After the port is selected, click Change. Next click Save.

In this case, we connect stb or watch IP-TV on a computer from the 4th port of your wi-fi router.

Option 2. Traffic tagging setup.

Here we see that the ports are configured by default - everyone is in the same group and looks at the Internet. We need to separate one of them. Click on the group Lan- the group settings menu will open:

Here we choose any LAN port, for example port 4, click on it with the mouse and press the button Delete port and then Save Changes. It should turn out like this:

Name Vlan let it be IPTV- it is local and is needed only for convenience. Type of - Transparent, Vlan ID we put the one that is used on your home switch (you need to find it out in the technical support of the provider). In our version Vlan ID- 1601. Then we select the port that was freed from the group Lan and give it a type Untagged. We press the button Save changes. As a result, if you did everything correctly, it should look like this:

All, IPTV setup on DIR-615 K1(DIR-300 NRU B5) completed. Don't forget to save your router settings.

Required when creating an Internet connection in the section Miscellaneous tick the boxes Enable IGMP and NAT.

1. Delete connection WAN We enter the menu Net;- submenu connections; Choose Connection WAN;

Get into the settings window WAN, at the very bottom there are 2 buttons (Save, Delete). We press the button Delete;

As a result, we get that there is no connection list WAN;

Save changes (button in the upper right corner) - Save.

2. Select one of the physical ports LAN, to combine it with WAN Go menu Additionally;- submenu VLANs. Choose a VLAN lan

Select one of the lan ports, in our case port 4 and click Delete port;

As a result, we get the following (only port 1, 2 and 3 are declared in the VLAN corresponding to the connectors LAN on the back of the device):

3. Add to VLAN wan, dedicated port LAN-port 4 Go menu Additionally;- submenu VLANs. Choose a VLAN wan

In the window that appears, under Ports;, select from the dropdown list port4 by adding it to the VLAN wan:

Attention: You can add port 5 again We save the device settings with a device reboot. It is seen below that port4 and port5 belong to VLAN wan

4. Create connection WAN; Next we go to the menu. Net; submenu connections;, to create a WAN connection, click Add;

Setting up IP-TV on NetGear routers

Setting up IPTV for Netgear WNR2200

Additionally -> Internet port settings and in paragraph " LAN-4- i.e. We will watch TV from the fourth port of the wi-fi router.

Setting up IPTV for Netgear WNDR4300

To configure ip-tv on this router, you just need to specify in the settings which port the TV will be fed to. For this you need to go to Setting -> Internet port settings and in paragraph " Redirect IPTV stream for set-top box to"check the box on the number of the port from which you want to watch ip-tv. In the example, it is selected LAN-4- i.e. We will watch TV from the fourth port of the wi-fi router. If you check the box wifi network(2.4GHz b / g / n) NETGEAR74 or (5GHz a / n) NETGEAR74-5G, then IP-TV will be transmitted over the Wi-Fi network (which we select).

Setting up IP-TV on TP-Link routers

Setting up IP-TV for TP-Link TP-Link TL-WR741ND and TL-WR841ND

Routers TP Link TL-WR741ND and TL-WR841ND with the latest firmware versions, they support broadcasting multicast traffic, i.e. pass through themselves IGMP and let you watch IPTV . Unfortunately at the moment these routers can't tag traffic, which means they fit not for all operators interactive digital television. For example, both models will work fine on Beeline and TTC, but with Rostelecom more difficult - TL-WR741ND and TL-WR841ND suitable only in those branches where TV traffic to the subscriber goes to untagged. To customize port for STB you need to do the following. Turn on the prefix in 4th router port. Then we go to router web interface (http://192.168.1.1), select a section Network ⇒ Bridge (Network ⇒ Bridge):

Here we choose port 4 and press the button Save. Thus, you separate the 4th LAN port from others and actually parallel it with WAN port. Those. the prefix looks towards the provider as if the cable included in the apartment is included in it, and not in router. If you need to allocate 2 ports - choose the value Port 3&4. Ports 3 and 4 will be separated accordingly.

Notes:

• The instructions are also suitable for routers. TP Link TL-WR1043ND and TL-WR340GD
• TP-Link promises to make VLAN support (802.1q ) as soon as possible.

Configuring IPTV for TrendNet

For TrendNet Wi-Fi routers on standard firmware, you do not need to configure anything additionally. Multicast Routing option; enabled by default, you cannot disable it. If your IPTV still does not work, check your firewall and firewall settings and contact your service provider.

Setting up IPTV for Upvel

The IP-TV settings for this router are made when creating an Internet connection and are the same for all connection types. It is required to put a checkmark as in the picture:

To connect an IPTV receiver: Go to the menu Administration - Free information. Check the box TV/STB. Make sure the port LAN4 in the diagram above marked as " TV". To save the settings, click the " Apply".

Setting up IP-TV for ZyXEL routers

In order to enable IPTV and watch it on a computer, select Auto mode for TV port to section home network subsection IP television.

To view on a TV through an IPTV receiver (STB set-top box) TV port mode. Choose Assign LAN connector. Specify the port through which the receiver is connected (stb prefix).

Traffic tagging setup.

We go to home network -> IP TV:

To configure, you need to find out Vlans for IP-TV and the Internet from your provider. This is due to the fact that Zyxel Keenetic V1 with IP-TV settings, it requires tagging and Vlan for the Internet.

RTVport mode choose Based on 802.1Q VLAN, connector for IPTV receiver set the portports from which we will watch ip-tv (in our example, these are ports 3 and 4) . Prescribe Vlan for the Internet and for IP-TV (we have this 1225 and 1000) . Click Apply.

Setting up IP-TV on ZyXEL Keenetic V2 (For example, ZyXEL Keenetic Giga)

1. Enable the function in the router IGMP Proxy. To do this, in the device web configurator, go to the tab Home Network > IGMP Proxy and check the box Enable IGMP proxy function. Note. If there is no bookmark in the web interface IGMP Proxy, it means that the IGMP proxy component is not installed in the firmware. To turn it on go to the menu. System > Components, check the box IGMP proxy and press Apply. Wait for the components to update and then proceed with the configuration.

2. Specify a role Upstream interface that looks into the network to the provider (in our example, this is the ISP WAN interface) and where the digital television traffic (multicast traffic) will come from, and the local interface (in our example, this is the Home LAN / WLAN interface), which contains home computers and IPTV set-top box, specify the role Downstream.

3. If you plan to watch IPTV through a set-top box, determine a special TV port to which it will be connected and to which digital television will come. Go to menu Internet and click on the ISP network interface (basic WAN interface) line to further configure this interface.

In the list of ports / connectors, set in the field use connector only a tick on the port to which the IPTV set-top box will be connected (in our example, port 4 is specified). Click the button Apply to save the settings.

When you complete the specified settings, the set-top box will be connected directly to the provider's network through the Keenetic. Connect the IPTV set-top box to port 4 and reboot it. The set-top box must obtain IP addresses from the provider's network, and then you can receive digital TV. If your provider of TV traffic is delivered tagged, you need to find out the Vlan for TV and enter it in the column Network ID Vlan ID. You will also need to put an additional checkmark on the WAN port (purple) opposite Transmit Vlan ID tags.

There is no need to put such a checkmark on the port of the STB set-top box, because the router must remove the tag and then send traffic untagged - the prefix cannot remove tags. We press the button Apply. Setting up IPTV on Zyxel Keenetic NDMS 2.00 is finished - you can connect a set-top box to the 4th port.

IPTV is a special technology that, when transmitting data in networks, uses a special IP protocol.

Thanks to this, channels are broadcast using multicast, but for this you need to purchase a router with special IPTV support, and then you just need to update the firmware version of the router, and the program will automatically make the settings. Not all such devices have such a function, therefore, below are the settings for this program on one of the frequently purchased routers.

Setting up IP-TV on routers

D-Link routers

For the frequently purchased model of the D-LINK DIR 615 brand router, you need to carry out only 2 steps:

For less frequently purchased models, for example, for the DIR-320 NRU or DIR-300 NRU models, you need:

Asus model routers

ASUS routers are notable for the fact that IPTV can be configured in 2 ways.

In ASUS router models, more often the connection is done like this:

1. go to the menu and go to the tab LAN -> Route.
2. A window will open in which it is necessary to check the option to enable multicast routing. Don't forget to save the setting by clicking on the "Apply" button.

Photo: Menu opening and LAN transition - route

This method is quite easy, because there is no need to spend extra time on setting up additional installed programs, however, at the same time, the router takes over all the functionality of the entire network. In addition, the connection is made only if an “Ethernet cable” is present, and when using this program on other devices via a local network, the Internet connection speed noticeably decreases and becomes lower.

Zyxel model routers

These devices must be flashed with the latest version available from the official website of the router manufacturer.

Setting up iptv through a routerZYXEL KEENETIC STARTis done as follows:

1. go to the WAN menu and find the "Choose Bridge Port (s)" field;
2. in it we indicate the LAN port to which the TV will be connected - set-top box.

Photo: setting up IPTV on ZyXEL modems

For some models, at the end of the setup, you need to select the “Choose IPTV STB PORT” option and set the number of connected LAN ports there.

TP-Link Model Routers

This model range also needs to be updated to the latest available version. However, after the firmware, Multicast starts automatically, and configures the program itself. Possible causes of problems include an old playlist, an unupdated media player, antivirus blocking, and improper cable connection. If this is not the error, and the connection is not made, then the blocking comes from the Internet provider.

Setting up an IPTV service connection through a router

For Rostelecom operator

The world-famous company Rostelecom is one of the few companies that provides the opportunity to watch digital television in good quality on a computer. The picture and sound quality remains top notch.

Video: setting up a Rostelecom router

Setting up IPTV through a Rostelecom router is not a complicated and long process, just enough:

1. competently write an application at the service center of the company;
2. wait for the technical staff of the company, who will make the necessary settings on the station equipment;
3. after that, you need to download a special program for watching television - IPTV Player - on your computer.
4. download the installation file of the player itself;
5. run the file that appears and install the program step by step;
6. we launch the installation wizard and put a tick in all empty cells, after which we press the “Next” button and then “Install”;
7. at the end of the installation, click on the “Finish” button, wait for the installation wizard to complete and turn off, select the region where we are currently located, and you can click channels;
8. installation completed successfully.

For Beeline operator

To connect, it is best to choose a router with the latest firmware version in order to make your task as easy as possible and so that there are no problems and errors during the installation. Before starting the installation, you need to check that the router is connected to the network correctly - it must be inserted into a special port, and the set-top box into any of the free ports. To start the installation for the Beeline operator, you need to go to the web interface.

Photo: Setting up IPTV through a router

To do this, open any installed browser and enter the code in the address bar: 192.168.0.1. This code opens access to the router interface window. A window appears in which you need to enter login information, that is, a username and password. If the installation is being performed for the first time, then the login data is entered in both fields that appear - admin. This will take you to the settings page.

Setting up a router for the Beeline operator is unusual in that it is imperative to make a LAN port allocated for connecting an IPTV set-top box to a special "Transparent Mode". It is best to connect to LAN port 4 and install, but if it is impossible to connect to this port, then during installation, do not forget to put the number of the port to which you connected.

If it becomes necessary to combine ports for an IP TV set-top box, then we do the following:

1. uninstall the WAN connection;
2. open the "Network" menu, go to the "Connections" section and select the "WAN" connection;
3. a window for setting the selected connection opens, in which, in the lower part of this window, click the "Delete" button;
4. the result is that the connection has been deleted and is no longer in the list of available connections. We need to save this moment;
5. after that, we connect the LAN port to the WAN port. To do this, select a free LAN port, go to the "Advanced" menu, open the "VLAN" section and select the "VLAN LAN" item;
6. we select the LAN port, the 4th port is best, but any other is possible, and we uninstall this port;
7. it turns out that only the remaining ports are declared under the numbers corresponding to the connectors on the rear panel of the device. You need to save these changes and completely reboot the device;
8. then add VLAN WAN to our dedicated LAN port 4;
9. click "save changes". We save all the necessary settings and reboot the device again. After that, it becomes possible to add port No. 5;
10. since port 4 and port 5 belong to VLANWAN, we create a WAN connection and press the "Add" button.

Photo: TV set-top box connection diagram

Such installation of equipment is possible only if an IP address is assigned to the client via DHCP by the Internet provider. The cable from the ISP connects to the back of the router. After performing such tricky manipulations, port 4 LAN became parallel with the WAN port and is fully available for connecting an IPTV set-top box.

For operator Triolan (triolan)

Connection for the Triolan operator is one of the most accessible and easy. Produced in just a few steps.

To install you need:

1. Disable the SPIfirewall program.
2. Create a special document /tmp/igmpproxy.conf, in which this code is displayed:

quickleave phyint vlan1 upstream ratelimit 0 threshold 1 phyint br0 downstream ratelimit 0 threshold 1 phyint eth0 disabled phyint eth1 disabled phyint vlan0 disabled phyint lo disabled In this case, remember that vlan1 means WAN and br0 is the WAN-LAN bridge.

3. run igmpproxy, where we see # killall -9 igmprt # igmprt -c /tmp/igmpproxy.conf

4. at the end, it remains only to launch the VLC / IP-TV Player program, which will independently perform the settings. The connection is completed and you can enjoy watching TV.

Settings for Smart TVs

Before proceeding with the setup, you need to find out whether the router supports this function or not.. The router must support this function, because the connection is made thanks to the UTP-5e patch cord.

Setting up the Internet on a TV with the Smart TV function is done as follows:

IP hosts and routers use the IGMP management protocol to group network devices. The Internet Group Management Protocol governs multicast (group) networks. It resides at the network layer and connects the client computer to the local router in order to transfer data between them. The multicast traffic is then routed to the rest of the clients via the PIM protocol. It links the local router to the remote one. Thanks to the use of IGMP, the network resources of a number of applications (online games, video streaming) can be used more efficiently.

You can use the IGMP snooping function to decide whether to translate traffic to certain interfaces. the process of tracking IGMP requests from consumers (hosts) to providers (group routers).

The concept and purpose of IGMP snooping

Translated from English, snooping means "eavesdropping". When it is turned on, an intermediate network device (router or communicator) begins to analyze the transfer of all data packets between client computers connected to it and routers that supply multicast traffic. When a connection request is detected, the port to which the consumer (client) is connected is turned on, in the opposite situation (leave request), the corresponding port is removed from the group list.

In most communicators, IGMP snooping is available, but must be enabled beforehand.

Why Monitor Network Traffic?

Multicast traffic can also be transmitted to computers that are not interested in it. This is called broadcast relay. To prevent it, in order to reduce the load on the network, IGMP snooping is used. At the same time, this kind of filtering requires additional memory costs and increases the load on the communicator. However, she is justified.

If the communicator starts broadcasting multicast traffic on all its ports, then:

• this process is useless;
• problems may arise in the operation of the final recipient (network device), forced to process a large stream of unnecessary data.

To eliminate such situations, there is an IGMP snooping function that significantly improves the performance of the entire network. It takes into account the needs at the network (third) level and thus optimizes the channel (second) level of data transmission.

Enabling the listening function

In order to monitor multicast traffic, you must first enable IGMP snooping and configure it yourself. Let's consider how to do this on D-Link communicators when implementing a multicast data transfer scheme. Commands to activate network listening:

The IGMP Snooping Fast Leave feature is used to exclude a port from a network group when a communicator receives a Leave request from a client. It allows you to stop the transmission of unnecessary over the network in order to make it work more efficiently. To enable this feature, use the following command:

It is used if it is necessary to enable multicast filtering of the switch with a node connected to it and participating in data transfer.

Types of IGMP listening

IGMP snooping can be either passive or active. How is it shown?

1. Passive does not filter traffic, but simply monitors it.
2. Active - listens and filters data packets to reduce the load on the group router.

The second type of implementation of this function is the most preferable, as it allows minimizing the amount of transmitted information by filtering requests to connect to and disconnect from the router.

The functionality of the IGMP snooping communicator helps to reduce the load on the network by monitoring the processes of data exchange between providers (local routers) and consumers (client computers) of multicast traffic.

If you are a subscriber of Rostelecom, then watching regular TV channels will be a common thing for you thanks to the "IPTV from Rostelecom" function. This connection allows you to watch TV channels online using a regular Internet connection. You can use this function on a TV, laptop and any other devices that allow you to use the Internet. We will look at how IPTV is configured for Rostelecom.

In general, a set-top box is used to watch TV channels. But a special IPTV player allows an ordinary user to watch television programs without a set-top box. One of the main advantages is the high quality of the video.

How to connect the function?

Now there are three main ways to connect:

1. The easiest way is through a browser. For this, there is a special service from Rostelecom.
2. Through the connection "set-top box-TV". For this, a special IPTV set-top box is used.
3. Through a bunch of "player-computer".

Bundle "set-top box-TV"

The set-top box with IPTV function has various advantages, which makes it much more convenient to use.

You can view the IPTV playlist, TV schedule, channel list. Those that you like - you can write down. These TV shows can be stored on USB flash drives and in the cloud. The cloud server gives 30 gigabytes of storage. We recommend using the two best options - cloud storage and connecting an external hard drive. An external HDD doesn't cost too much and has plenty of room for personal files. For ease of use, a keyboard from a computer is connected to the console.

The prefix allows you to pause the movie, rewind, record. You can choose a program by separate categories, where everything is conveniently sorted.

For the correct use of IPTV, you need to understand how to properly configure the router (Internet router).

Router setup

Any beginner can handle setting up a router. Just follow our instructions. It is worth noting that the Rostelecom television setup is the same on almost all routers, the configuration is at least very similar. We are considering installation on two routers: and .

Setting up the prefix

A big plus of buying a TV set-top box is that it was initially set up so that a beginner would not have to bother much. We connect it to the router via a LAN cable, be sure to use the port that was specified in the settings (we have 4). Then we connect to the TV through the appropriate cables, we have HDMI, but there may be three different-colored cables.

We turn on the prefix using the remote control, wait for the download, enter the login and password that are specified in the contract.

Setting up IPTV on a PC

Interactive television can be watched on a computer, along with all its goodies (such as an IPTV playlist). This does not require a set-top box and a TV. To watch TV, you need to buy a special IPTV player and download it.

Then you need to install the Rostelecom program on your computer. There is nothing difficult in this. Open the downloaded file. Select the installation location. We recommend that you uncheck the boxes next to the installation of other elements, such as Yandex and others.

Do not forget that the ability to view IPTV by Rostelecom is possible only after registering the corresponding service with the provider.

View from site

Rostelecom has created a website specifically for customers with the Interactive TV service activated, where you can watch TV shows online from any device that allows you to access the Internet.

For those who are not connected to Rostelecom, or for those who have not connected the corresponding service, the use of the site is paid.

First you will need to register. To do this, go to the appropriate tab on the Zabava.ru website. We enter all the necessary data. Confirm email. If you have "Interactive TV" connected, then to set up interactive TV you will need to enter your login and password from the contract in the appropriate form on the site.

At the final stage, it is worth noting the possibility of using VLAN ID for Rostelecom IPTV. This is a very important function in multilayer networks. The function adds labels to packet headers so that local networks work without restrictions.

If, after our instructions, IPTV still does not work, then we recommend contacting Rostelecom support to properly configure interactive TV. Specialists will tell you in detail about how to connect, how the set-top box is configured, and so on.

Setting up IPTV television on a TP-Link router, as well as on the most modern family of routers - TP-Link Archer - is a fairly simple procedure. As a rule, it consists in correctly configuring the port for connecting a digital STB set-top box. This is the case with most providers in Russia - Rostelecom, TTK, Dom.RU, Beeline, etc. Usually, it is enough to simply select one Ethernet port from the general group of LAN ports and combine it into one group with the WAN port in Bridge mode. At the same time, in some cases, in order to configure IPTV, it is necessary to additionally register one more parameter on the TP-Link router - VLANID, which is the number of the virtual network used. Consider both options for configuring the router.

Basic IPTV setup on TP-Link

Before doing anything, we strongly advise you to call the technical support number of your telecom operator and clarify all the settings that will need to be registered in the device configuration. Particular attention to the need to specify the VLAN number. If you need to do this, find out and write it down.

This is how the usual scheme for connecting a digital television receiver to a router or TP-Link or Archer modem looks like. It is quite simple and should not cause any difficulties:

Separately, I would like to note the following feature - not all TP-Link routers can work with IPTV, especially older models. For example, older models like tl-wr740n, tl-wr741nd, tl-wr841n, tl-wr940n and the like do not always know how to separate the port for a set-top box. And even if they can, they do not always support working with VLAN ID. Sometimes this can be solved by updating the firmware of the router. The new version will already have the necessary function. Therefore, if your TP-LINK router does not have an IPTV setting, download the latest software version from the manufacturer's website and install it on the device. And if this functionality does not appear on the latest version, then all that remains is to change the router. Fortunately, on modern models of TP-Link Archer C2, C5, C7, C20, C50, etc., this problem does not exist.

How to configure the IPTV port of TP-Link and Archer

The easiest way that will allow you to simply set up IPTV television on a TP-Link router that works with most Russian providers - Dom.ru, TTK, Beeline, Rostelecom - is as follows: you need to select one port from the general LAN group, TV will be connected to it -console. It is called set the port to transparent bridge mode. VLAN ID is not specified.

The setup procedure is as follows:

1. You need to go to the router settings through its IP - or, or by the URL tplinkwifi.net. Access login - admin, password - admin. If you can’t get into the configurator or the password doesn’t fit, look here.

2. In the menu of the TP-Link router, go to the section Network >> IPTV.

3. Check if the "IGMP Proxy" mode is enabled. Enabled - leave it as it is. If not, turn it on.

4. In the "Mode" column, set the value Bridge, In the field "Port for IPTV" put LAN4 .

5. Save the IPTV setting on the TP-Link router by clicking the "Save" button.

Setting up a TV port on an Archer router

For TP-Link Archer C2, C5, C7, C20, C50, C1200 routers with the latest firmware, the IPTV setup is as follows:

Open section Advanced Settings >> Network >> IPTV/VLAN:

Check the box "Enable IPTV".

Operating mode - Bridge.

In the line "LAN4" you need to put the value "IPTV".

Connect the set-top box to the fourth port of the router and check the operation of interactive television.
