BE800 in Access Point mode: how do I set the SFP+ port to LAN?

a week ago - last edited a week ago

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 and mark the post as a "Recommended Solution".
