Note:This article applies to TD-W8968 V1, if it’s V2,please click here. We will take TD-W8968 V1 as example in this article.The steps are the same for other listed models.
Before starting the configurations on TD-W8968, users have to know the IPTV related parameters from ISP. This guide is NOT suitable for the IPTV Application which requires Vlan-binding or some other special settings needed other than the below example shows.
Here we assume the IPTV parameters are as below:
Connection Type: Bridge
VPI/VCI: 8/32
Encapsulation Mode: LLC
ATM QoS Type: UBR
Also, we will configure LAN4 as an IPTV port.
Step 1: Add Bridge Interface for IPTV.
Login the Web Management Page of TD-W8968 by http://192.168.1.1. (Default username & password: admin, admin.)
Go to Network->WAN Settings; add a Bridge interface for IPTV.

Note: Up to eight WAN Interfaces can be added. If you fail to add a new bridge, you may have to delete the unused interfaces (or delete the one that use the same VPI/VCI) then do it again.
