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

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.
Français:
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

HT1941 trying to connect time apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

trying to connect time capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
any ideas?

Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup.

Which port is the WAN port?

which port is the WAN port?

The WAN port will have a "world" icon, which looks more like a circle of dots.
The LAN port(s) will have opposing arrows....something like this <->

RV016 port forwarding by WAN port?

Hi,
I am replacing an ancient SOHO 90 series router with our new RV016, I was told this thing would do everything we needed which I didn't doubt, however, I am wondering if I made the wrong choice now. We have 5 IP's on one line coming into the current router, that isn't an issue, if needed I can make 5 seperate drops with each IP, but, now we have several servers hosting services on the same ports. For example 5.2 host a web server which is called to by the .250 address, 5.3 has one as well from .251, we have one on each of the 5, there are other servers too though on each of the 5 using the same ports. When I go to port forwarding the only option is to forward the single port to a single server, can I not forward ports from each WAN connection to a different server? Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a short sample from the old soho of what I want to do
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.5 443 *.*.*.250 443 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.6 443 *.*.*.251 443 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.5 80 *.*.*.250 80 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.6 80 *.*.*.251 80 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.22 80 *.252 80 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.22 443 *.252 443 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.96 6437 *.251 6437 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.96 6438 *.251 6438 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.96 6439 *.251 6439 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.93 7437 *.251 7437 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.93 7438 *.251 7438 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.93 7439 *.251 7439 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.101 8437 *.251 8437 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.101 8438 *.251 8438 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.101 8439 *.251 8439 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.90 9437 *.251 9437 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.5.90 9438 *.251 9438 extendable

The multi-WAN feature of RV016 is designed for redundancy and load balancing, so basic port forwarding is not tied to a specific WAN port. If a LAN server is exposed to the internet by the 1-to-1 NAT feature of RV016, the server can be accessed by a specified public IP address.

I want to connect an Airport Express via WiFi to my internet connection and then connect its LAN port to the WAN port of a Time Capsule. Will then any device connected to the time capsule wirelessly be also connected to the internet?

Background is I can't hook up my time capsule directly to my internet connection via network cable. I tried to extend the network via Wifi, but that did not work. At the moment I have two wireless networks, one with internet connection and another one with my time capsule. So to use time machine I have to change my network all the time.
Can I buy an Airport Express, use is as a client to my internet connection wifi and provide that connection via network cable to my time capsule and all it's wifi clients?

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

Hi there -
I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
Please help!

Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

WAN port without DHCP/NAT on WRTP54G

(Sorry if this issue was already discussed - I couldn't find it using Advanced Search) I find that my new WRTP54G works fine, supporting VoIP and several PC clients via its LAN switch, providing I enable its DHCP and NAT function. This is with the DSL modem connected to the WRTP54G's WAN port, as required for the VoIP module to access the internet. However, this configuration (the factory default) results in "double NAT" when used with my DSL modem. (This situation is evident by inspecting the HTML status screens of the respective equipments.) The obvious solution would be simply to disable DHCP and NAT in the WRTP54G and let the DSL modem do the hard work. However, disabling DHCP/NAT within the WRTP54G essentially shuts down all PC client access to the internet. The symptoms resemble a situation where packets are not being properly routed between the WRTP54G's LAN switch side and its WAN port (although I don't know whether that is the precise cause or not). On my previous WRT54G router used with a PAP2T, I saw the same behavior but the workaround was simple: move the DSL modem Ethernet port connection from the WRT54G WAN port to one of its LAN switch ports. Problem solved at the expense of occupying one of the four available LAN switch ports. Such workaround is not applicable to the WRTP54G due to the previously mentioned requirement of its VoIP module. Has anyone got their WRTP54G (or for that matter, WRT54G) working properly with its WAN port as a simple (non-DHCP/NAT) router? Please note my preferred Internet Connection Type (on the WRTP54G opening Setup page) is "Obtain an IP automatically" although a solution using "Static IP" would be OK. I am looking for a portable solution (for hotel rooms etc.), so I can't set the WRTP54G to "PPPoE" as suggested in some other forums. Thanks in advance for any help!

Use the Modem connected to WAN Port of the wireless router ....
In such case you can use the DHCP of the router also & other computers using the client services can work .....
Make sure that the Ip address should not conflict between the Vonage router & Linksys router .....
I think that Vonage is giving Ip - 192.168.15.1 ...& the default Ip for Linksys router is 192.168.15.1 ..... change the Ip for any of the router or modem to 192.168.20.1 .....
Also under Linksys router once you open the setup page ....
Leave the Internet Connection type to "Obtain an Ip automatically"
Click "MAC address clone"
Click enable & click clone
Click save settings ....
See if you are able to go online or not ....

HT4260 Is Airport Express Gen 1 (no WAN port) suitable for an extended network (roaming)

Is the Airport Express Gen 1 (no WAN port) suitable for an extended network (roaming)? It (Express) ha no WAN port.
I have a new Airport Extreme. I wish to extend the network (wired, not wireless) to an older (Gen 1) Airport Express.
I have followed the instructions explicitly.
EXCEPT: the Airport Express has only a LAN port and no WAN port. The instructions state to insert the cable from the Extreme into the Express WAN port.
Solutons? Thanks!

Thanks, CRMDVM, for that explanation.
I am successfully using the Express as extended (wireless) now with the Extreme as the primary base station. I will try it (wired) with an ethernet cable attached to the Express (Gen 1) LAN port (which you say also functions as a WAN port in this case). BTW, my confusion arose because Gen2 of the Express includes a WAN and a LAN port

WRT400N WAN port doesn't work.

Nothing that I connect to the WAN port seems to get the internet LED to illuminate. I have a DHCP access to a Motorola CPEi 150 which works great if I connect to it directly with a netbook or if I use a dlink WRB-2310 router but it doesn't ever seem to register with the WRT400N WAN port. I've even tried connecting the WAN port to the dlink and still no LED or address from the DHCP server. It's a recently bought this Linksys-refurbished router and I think it will cost more to send it back that it cost to get. Is there an easy way to determine if the WAN port works at all without constantly disconnecting the internet in my house as family members are getting a bit upset with me.

I tried connecting a LAN port to the WAN port and it worked. I then connected the WAN port to the LAN port of a DLink router in series and I could communicate with the internet. I then connected it directly to the Motorola CPEi 150 and the port showed nothing. I then tried to repeat my steps and could not get any responce on the WAN port even with rebooting the router and reverting to factory defaults. The WAN port appears to have intermitten problems. I will attempt to troubleshoot some more but I may have to give up.

Wan Port configuration

Hi, I need some info please on how to setup the Wan port. Here is my setup: I have 2 locations and 2 UC560. What I would like to do is beeing able to use one IP on the Wan port in the same subnet as the vlan1 ip address so that I can keep my voice in my tunnel between the 2 offices. The tunnel is already setup but I would like to avoid having to give a different IP and keep everything similar.
Is that possible to do? When I'm trying inside the CCA I can't because it's giving me an error that the IP address is already used by another interface...
But really I'm giving a different IP.
Any idea without having to do a configuration in the router?
Thanks
Jason

Since I already have the tunnel between the 2 locations I would like to use the existing IP for the wan port so I can do the multisite configuration between the 2 UC560.
Let say that site1 has a network of 10.10.1.0 and the UC560 VLAN1 has an IP of 10.10.1.5 and site2 has a network of 10.10.2.0 and the UC560 VLAN1 has an IP of 10.10.2.5. Then I would like having the UC560 of site1 having an IP 10.10.1.8 for the wan port and site2 10.10.2.8. The problem is that I can't do that under the CCA. I'm not sure if there is another way to do this but by doing it this way would avoid some configuration in the router where this seem to be always a big deal for our internet provider.
Let me know if it make sense?
Thanks again.
Jason

UC560 Wan port VLAN

Hi, is there a way to change the VLAN port on the WAN port of the UC560?
I'm trying to use VLAN50 on WAN port and I'd like to have that setup in the network configuration o the UC560. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Jason

Do you know how I can download the CLI and what is the instructions on setup the VLAN50 on WAN port?
I'd like to give that a try and get it working.
Let me know
Thanks
Jason

IP automatic for WAN port doesn´t works

Hi, I have a RV042 with latest firmware (4.0.4.02) and I´m trying to conect to Internet in port WAN1 with the optino "Obtain an IP automatically". I have noticed that the router receives an IP from the modem, I´m able to connect to the from a PC in the same WAN subnet to the WEB Management page, but in the system summary the Wan Status is IP address 0.0.0.0 default gateway 0.0.0.0 DNS 0.0.0.0 and the pc in the internal LAN couldn't surf Internet.
The only way is assigning an static IP an DNS servers, and then all works fine.
On the system log shows the message "infinite IP address lease time. Exiting" when activate the IP automatically for the WAN1 connection type.
There is no option to change the leased time.
I need to send a router to a remote office where the connection to INternet is with a dynamic IP. Help please

Using DynDNS and Sharing disks over Ethernet WAN port

I am having issues accessing the AirDisk from outside my LAN. So here are the steps that I have taken:
In the AirPort Utility, I enable "Share disks over Ethernet WAN port".
Created a DynDNS account at http://www.dyndns.com so my hostname points to my IP address.
After reading a bunch of threads, mainly this one below, there are a few conflicting issues.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4105319
Someone mentioned you have to Setup Port Mapping to open up Personal File Sharing. But another said you don't have to set up Port Mapping. Well if you do, you're gonna run into a problem. This Apple article states you have to use a different port: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305183
Someone said Remote Access only works via AFP not via SMB. Is this true?
Also do I have to enter my DynDNS hostname into the wide area bonour tab in the advanced tab?
What am I doing wrong?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) Airport Extreme N

Are you aware of any DynDNS-like service that support Wide Area Bonjour?
None at the moment. One might hope that Apple's .Mac service would make use of it, but I don't think Apple has announced anything about that possibility.
Or as a practical matter is this a technology that only appears at the moment in private installations of OS X Server?
I've found the version of dnsextd that ships in Mac OS X 10.4 (not just the server version) to be a bit flaky. One hopes it will work a lot better in Mac OS X 10.5.
But since the AEBS doesn't support DynDNS update, as other routers do, it ends up requiring a server after all.
Wouldn't it be nice if DynDNS and similar services allowed you to configure DNS resource records manually? That way, it wouldn't matter what your home gateway/fileserver was capable of doing— you could just edit your DNS zone accordingly.

I have Fios. I have the TC connected via ethernet to the Fios router. TC WAN port ethernet to Fios Lan port. Then I just have the TC create a wireless network that is different than the Fios wireless network. How do I set up an Airport Extreme to the TC?

The Airport Extreme is a 4th Gen unit. I just want to keep the TC wireless name to go further through my house.

The Ethernet connection will be from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
Then you can use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to configure the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not "extend a wireless network" as many users incorrectly think)
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
Wireless Password = Same setting as the TC network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and restart the entire network
Computers on the TC network will now be able to move to the area where the AirPort Extreme is located and not have to "switch" networks. This is known as a "roaming" network.

Do I need to buy an ethernet switch that has a WAN port

I want to buy an Aiport Express to handle a WiFi only iPad and an old PPC iMac with 10.5.8 on it that has no WiFi card. The iMac gets on the internet from a cable plugged directly into its ethernet port (using DHCP). The cable comes off an antenna at the front of the cottage. A signal hits the antenna from a broadcasting tower about half a mile away.
I need to buy an ethernet switch for the Aiport Express to handle both the iPad wirelessly and the wired iMac. Does the switch have to have a WAN port or can I buy one with five LAN ports?
Message was edited by: Roy Vincent. Spelling error

So here's what I am planning to do. I get myself an ethernet switch. I plug my cable from my antenna into it. I run a cable from one of its five ports into my iMac. I run a cable from one of its other ports into my Airport Express. I configure the Airport Express in Bridge Mode. Now my wife can connect to the web wirelessly using the iPad and I can connect using the wired iMac --- and we can do so at the same time and indpendently of one another. No?
Sorry, but no.
You only have one IP address. With a switch feeding two devices, it will be a matter of chance as to which device gets the IP address.
The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet, since a switch cannot "split" the connection.
Instead, you need a simple wired router to "share" the public IP address that you receive. In turn, the router distributes "private" IP addresses to devices on your local network, so each device will be able to connect to the Internet.
As I mentioned, a switch cannot perform the functions of a router.
