Configuring WAN Connections

By default, the WAN1/LAN0 port on the back panel of the RV315W is set to a
secondary WAN interface so that the RV315W can support a second Internet
connection to ensure continuous connectivity or to increase available bandwidth
and balance traffic.
The RV315W allows you to add multiple subinterfaces on a physical WAN
interface. Each WAN subinterface can be used to set up an Internet connection but
only one of these connections can be used as the default route of the physical
WAN interface. Up to eight WAN subinterfaces can be added on the physical WAN
interfaces.
To configure a WAN connection through a physical WAN interface or its
subinterface:
Click Port Settings > WAN > WAN Interface Settings. The WAN Interface
Settings page opens.
To add a WAN subinterface on a physical WAN interface, click Add Subinterface.
Choose either Route Mode or Bridge Mode for a WAN subinterface from the
Internet Connection Type drop-down menu.
The Route Mode is always selected for a physical WAN interface.
NOTE
If Route Mode is selected, select one of the following options to connect to the
Internet and specify the corresponding fields:
• DHCP: Choose this option if your ISP dynamically assigns an IP address on
connection and enter the following information:
