Note:
Any change to the number of WAN ports may lead your current configurations to be lost. Make sure
you have backed up your configurations before proceeding.
2.2 Configuring the WAN Connection
The router supports five connection types: Static IP, Dynamic IP, PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP, you
can choose one according to the service provided by your ISP.
Static IP: If your ISP provides you with a fixed IP address and the corresponding
parameters, choose Static IP.
Determine the number of WAN ports according to your needs. To enable a port
as WAN port, check the box of the desired port. To configure multiple WAN ports,
enable the ports one by one. Only WAN, WAN/LAN, SFP WAN (for certain devices)
and USB Modem can function as WAN port.
