LAN Physical Settings 

Speed 

This is the port speed of the LAN interface. It should be set to the same speed as the 
connected device to avoid port negotiation problems. When a static speed is set, you 
may choose whether to advertise its speed to the peer device. 

Auto

 is selected by 

default. You can choose not to advertise the port speed if the port has difficulty 
negotiating with the peer device. 

 

3  Configuring the WAN Interface(s) 

 
WAN Interface settings are located at Network>WAN. To reorder WAN priority, 
drag on the appropriate WAN by holding the left mouse button, move it to the 
desired priority (the first one would be the highest priority, the second one would 
be lower priority, and so on), and drop it by releasing the mouse button. 
 

 

To disable a particular WAN connection, drag on the appropriate WAN by holding 
the left mouse button, move it the Disabled row, and drop it by releasing the mouse 
button.
