No, 1812 does not support any serial interfaces.

Hello,

Unfortunately, 1812 does not support any WAN module. It is fixed configuration.

I suppose you meant 1841 instead 1814. 1841 supports plenty of WAN modules.

I suggest you to connect two routers by Fastethernt interfaces to simulate WAN.

Please take a look at the link below for more information.

Hope it helps,

and 1812 cannot connect to 1812 for WAN through crossover cable 

1812 is designed for metro connection. You can connect two 1812 routers by Ethernet crossover cable. It has 8 fastethernet interfaces for internal network and 2 fastethernet interfaces for external network( let say WAN or metro). Use those two interfaces for connecting two routers( simulating WAN connection instead of using serial) and use other 8 interfaces for practicing VLAN and interVLAN routing.
