Bridge mode on one port?

[Areuz]

I'm asking if it would be possible to bridge only on one port because I have a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) connection and I have IPTV. These TV's need to be connected directly to my ONT (Optical Network Terminal). I would like to have these run through the Netduma to control the traffic and make sure my games don't lag. Yes I know, the tvs don't make a lot of traffic and probably wont make too big of a difference but I am looking for a "Perfect" internet connection. I am not looking to get the Netduma just to make sure I don't get congestion from the TVs but also from other devices in my house and to prioritize my gaming internet.

I have 250 Mbps Up/Down and a great connection to begin with. I have low pings, low jitter, and high bandwidth yet I am looking to make my connection even better. The only real benefit of a Netduma for me in congestion control and hyper traffic for my console. There is the #RouterRevolution coming soon (hopefully) and the new features may help too. So to get back to my question, Could I run my IPTVs through a Netduma (The TVs are on a 5Ghz wifi extender that is wired to my ONT) as a side note these TVs need direct connection to the ONT not just any internet connection. Could I have that setup along with the normal Netduma operation for the rest of my devices? So the setup would be ONT->Netduma->PS4 and also my Nighthawk R7000 (for wifi) and the wired wifi extender for the TVs.

If you need any further information just let me know and any help would be appreciated!

The setup you mentioned would be absolutely fine and congestion control will be able to take effect for all your devices. Though as you said that the TVs need a direct connection to the ONT they may not be able to connected behind the R1. I would try the setup you mentioned and see if the IPTVs will work that way, otherwise they will just have to connect to the ONT and then everything else through the duma.

Sounds like his ONT is routing and they have an IPTV vlan/subnet.  What has always confused me with these setups is what's the bandwidth.  Is the IPTV part of your existing package or does it have it's own calculated amount of bandwidth allocated based on amount of end devices.  It would suck to have 50Mbps one minute and 25Mbps when all 5 tv's start streaming.  I realize there is compression involved and it's not a constant drag on your bandwidth but it can be so it should be calculated for the max deficit not the norm.  Nevermind me,,, just picking my own brains.
