Model: Archer BE800

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.3.1

Hi,

According to the knowledge base article, it should be possible to set the SFP+ to the LAN mode (Scenario 3). However, it is not clear how this can be achieved.
Link to the knoweledge base: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/633098

Currently, all I see is that the SFP+ is set to "internet":

How can I change it to LAN?

Ah, indeed, you are right. It was a stupid mistake on my side: The ethernet port shared by the SPF+ module was connected to a device! I freed the ehternet port so the SPF+ could work correctly.

In general when a device is in AP mode all its ports should be bridged - details.

So when you switch the BE800 operation mode to AP, this port should work as a LAN port.

If this was helpful click on the arrow pointing upward to make it blue. If this solves your issue, click the star to make it blue as a "Recommended Solution". Tips:149wubkkfoLmNDjDbiTxx4ZU8mpcMA5CJt
