Why does the WAN on TL-R600VPN not work?
I just got this router today because my Internet package now offers speeds higher than my old router was built for.
I haven't changed anything from factory default besides login information, and changing the LAN IP to 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1, and changing the # of WAN ports to just 1.
I am 110% positive that I have everything plugged in correctly. A LAN port of my modem (which is running in bridge mode, no DHCP) is connected to the first WAN port of this router. LAN port #4 of the router is connected to my PC.
My ISP setting is Dynamic IP, so I have that selected under WAN1 configuration. All other fields are left as default.
When I hit "Connect", the status changes to "Connecting..." and then back to "Disconnected". It will not connect, and there is no feedback suggesting why this is the case.
This is not a problem with my internet connection. A different LAN port of my modem is connected to my old tp-link router, which is having no issues transmitting my internet connection to other devices.
Why doesn't the WAN port on this router work?
