WAN ports: 2 to 8 WAN ports (default is 2), using Port 1 to Port 8 for connecting 
to Modem(s). 
LAN ports: The remaining ports which are connected to PCs or a Hub. 

Note: 

Any port will automatically operate as an “Uplink” port if required. You can use a 
normal LAN cable to connect to a normal port on another hub. 

Reset Button 

When pressed and released, the Multi-WAN VPN Link Balancer will reboot
