Setting up the WAN port as a LAN port in Gigabit models
On Keenetic Peak (KN-2710); if you don't use the WAN port (for example, you have a 3G/4G USB modem for an Internet connection or the router is in Extender Mode), you can use this port as a LAN port.
This setting can be done from the router's web interface by deleting the 'Wired' interface in the following way:
Assign the 'Provider' role for any of the free ports
1~4
(step 2 of the instructions Changing the operating mode and role of network ports);Remove the 'Wired' interface (step 3 of the instructions Changing the operating mode and role of network ports);
Check on the 'Home segment' tab under 'Ports and VLANs settings' that port '
0
' is included in this network segment.
It can also be done using the command-line interface (CLI). Make the following settings:
Login:admin
Password: *************** (config)>interface Bridge0 include GigabitEthernet1
Network::Interface::Bridge: "Bridge0": GigabitEthernet1 included. (config)>system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...
The 'Wired' (ISP) interface will disappear from the web interface, and WAN port 0
can be used as LAN.
To get the WAN interface back, do the following setup:
Login:admin
Password: *************** (config)>no interface Bridge0 include GigabitEthernet1
Network::Interface::Bridge: "Bridge0": GigabitEthernet1 included. (config)>system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...
The WAN interface will return with the previous settings and can be used as a WAN port.
Important
To avoid errors when running the above commands, we recommend making this setting using the default configuration (i.e. after resetting the user settings to factory defaults).
