Hello,

is it possible to configure one of the four LAN ethernet ports of a TD-W8961ND to be a WAN port for the purpose of using it with an external DSL modem?

I know it's possible to make it simply a wireless access point so that the single ethernet port of the modem is plugged into a LAN port of the W8961ND, but I would like to be able to avoid this route as it disables DHCP and renders the other LAN ports unusable, providing only a wireless access point, doesn't it?

I have seen online articles about configuring a LAN port as a WAN port for other TP devices but not the W8961ND.

thanks,

Michael
