IPTV vlans support

surfing10

New Around Here
I need to set up two interfaces for WAN with different VLANs because of my fiber provider (VLAN 10 for Internet with PPoE and VLAN 20 for IPTV with Static IP address).

I've setup internet correctly with VLAN10 and PPoE using the stock asus firmware - all working now. But the main problem is the VLAN20 for IPTV - My fiber provider setup on the Dlink provided different IPs for each Vlan interface. So the internet has PPoE settings but the IPTV has a static IP and static routes enabled.
How can I setup this on the AC68U using Merlin? Is it possible?

This is the Dlink screenshot with two interfaces for the WAN:

Maybe you can just assign a port to IPTV (port 4), disable DHCP on IPTV setting page on Asuswrt and manually assign an IP on IPTV STB? If you set your STB with a static IP, router won't force another on it.

Might need some kind of manual configuration to bridge PPPoE WAN and IPTV Vlan port, if requires.

Mind you that Dlink's "IGMP enable" probably just indicates firewall opening for IGMP packet, not the IGMP proxy as on Asuswrt. If you use VLAN then IGMP proxy(packet flooder) has no use.

Now we're talking test011 :)
I don't have the Asuswrt-merlin yet. This could be a solution. But on my stock Asus firmware I can't do that and from what I can see in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEPDfOXj_NI) the Merlin doesn't have this "disable DHCP":

This option "use DHCP routes" doesn't allow me to assign an static IP, unless there is a command line to do that.

Do you know what manual config I'll need to do that and then bridge both internet and IPTV? I think this will be necessary since the IPTV uses the Internet to fetch content (Guide, Movie Store, etc).

Thanks for the tip around the IGMP Proxy.
