Configure TD-W8961ND WAN settings

Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TD-W8961ND
Hardware Version : V3
Firmware Version : 3.0.0 build 120808 Ref,28888
ISP : BT Infinity
Hi, I'm trying to configure my new TD-W8961ND for BT Infinity. I have a printout of the settings I need but I now need to configure one of the LAN ports, preferably LAN 4, to WAN so that I can connect it to the BT Infinity/Open Reach modem.
From what I can find out, the configuration screens on my TD-W8961ND have been changed and look nothing like those described in the TP-Link FAQ's.
Would someone please be so kind as to give me an idiots guide in plain, non-technical, English describing how to configure a LAN port as a WAN port for use with BT Infinity.
Thanks very much.

Hi.
After checking the User Guide of TD-W8961ND, I'm afraid that this modem cannot be configured to change the LAN port into WAN port.
You can just replace the BT modem router with TD-W8961ND.
Or if you want to make TD-W8961ND work with the BT router, you can disable DHCP function on TD-W8961ND and then connect the BT router to the LAN port of TD-W8961ND by an Ethernet cable. In this way, TD-W8961ND can be working as a wireless access point.

Hi Stella, many thanks for your reply however all the user guides I have read and even TP-Links own specifications definitely state that the LAN ports can be configured as a WAN port. If you're correct and it cannot be configured as a WAN then surely the Advertising Standards Authority in the United Kingdom would have something to say.
I'm still hoping that someone has an answer to my query.
Regards, Johnwj

Hi, Johnwj.
Is your modem TD-W8961ND? V3? Can you double check it?
"however all the user guides I have read and even TP-Links own specifications definitely state that the LAN ports can be configured as a WAN port."
Can you make a picture and post it here?

I suggest you check your contract with BT.
I think you will find this part of BT's network not yours.

Hi anikit,
Is your model also TD-W8961ND? This model doesn't support to work as a router only, it has to be a modem router.
