Based in Beijing, China Telecom's 500m broadband is installed, and the package includes a free IPTV set-top box. The optical modem is installed in the weak current box entering the house. From the weak current box to the living room TV cabinet only one network cable, the installation master said that the IPTV set-top box must be connected to the iTV port of the optical cat with a network cable, so that the network port of the living room is occupied by IPTV. I wanted to put the wireless router in the living room, but I could only put it in the study and connect to the cat through the network port of the study.
But the router is still placed in the living room signal is the best, research it, in fact, you can use a network cable to connect the wireless router and IPTV set-top box at the same time.
Telecom light default is the set routing mode, Internet binding network port 1, 3, 4, using VLAN 41, IPTV using VLAN 45, binding network port 2 (iTV port), usually it is indeed necessary to connect the IPTV set-top box to the iTV port for use.

It is found that the optical modem of telecom supports port bonding of VLAN, which can bind the VLAN of IPTV to an Internet port, which is bound to network port 1 and mapped to VLAN 43.

In this way, the router is connected with network port 1, and the telecom presents a wireless router of TPLINK WTA301, which has IPTV settings, IPTV mode selection to open VLAN, VLAN ID fill in 43, save. Then connect the IPTV set-top box to the router port shown.

Later, I felt that the TPLINK router given by Telecom was not very good, and replaced it with an Asus router. ASUS routers also support VLAN settings for IPTV. In the IPTV settings for the internal network (LAN), set LAN Port 4 to VLAN 43. Then connect the IPTV set-top box to the network port 4 of the router.

In this way, a single cable from the weak current box to the living room can also connect the wireless router and the IPTV set-top box at the same time. Go online and watch TV.
