[SRP527w] Use Ethernet Port 4 as a WAN Port ???

[ggarnierseml]

English:

Hi everybody,

I just can't figure out how to use the ethernet port 4 as a WAN port.

I think it's possible since it's labelled LAN/WAN on the back of the device... If someone succeed, please let me know how!

Thank you for your help,

Gaultier.

Bonjour à tous,

Je n'arrive pas à configurer le port ethernet 4 en monde WAN.

Il me semble que c'est possible puisque le port s'appelle LAN/WAN sur l'appareil... Si quelqu'un a réussi, merci de m'expliquer comment!

Merci d'avance de votre aide,

Gaultier.

Hi Gauliter,

Please use the Administration > Switch Setting menu.  Set the DSL Interface option to Disable to use LAN Port 4 instead of the ADSL interface.

Note, this setting will factory reset the router and completely disable that ADSL interface.

I hope this helps,

Andy

Thank you very much Andrew, I think I'm not the only one it helps!

Too bad it's not possible to use LAN 4 as a backup WAN when ADSL fails...

Hope it will be possible in a future firmware release.

The newly launched SRP547 has both ADSL and GigE WAN interfaces....
