Hi, I have the following setup:
The ISP WAN cable goes to a switch where one end is used for internet and the other for IPTV (there's a separate device for the IP Tv which needs to be hooked to the LAN cable).
There's only one LAN cable going to the TV and it's needed for the IPTV.
Is there a way to have both: internet and iptv on that same cable if I use a switch there?
Ultimately is this possible:
- WAN cable goes into the Edge Router
- one eth cable goes to the TV
- a switch at the TV switches the IPTV and Internet (i.e. the router knows that device 1 on the switch must directly forward the second WAN IP, whereas device 2 on the switch must be just a normal LAN device like any other computer in the network)
The goal is to have LAN internet on the TV and IPTV.
I've been told by the ISP that they can provide another IP and I can switch at the TV.
However, this setup will mean the TV will not be accessible to large LAN network (the one indicated with 3 computers).
So the ultimate goal is, TV is visible to the bigger LAN and hooked to the internet and also hooked to the IPTV where there's only one LAN cable going to where the TV is at.
