Networks.
Review the list of changes to ensure they are compatible with your router needs:
• All Ethernet ports will be set to LAN (i.e. you cannot use Ethernet as an Internet source for your router).
• All WAN devices will have Load Balance disabled and the highest priority device will be used.
• All network groups except the primary network group will be removed.
• All wireless interfaces will be removed from the primary network group. (It is possible to have a wireless interface associated with another
network.)
• All router-based VPN and GRE services will be disabled.
• The Routing Mode will be set to IP Passthrough. (Network

Subnet, which forces a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and uses the first available address in the network as the gateway. This is for
compatibility with equipment that may not handle modem addressing schemes; this should not be used unless necessary.
Any Ethernet WAN connections should be disconnected before IP passthrough is enabled.
