Hello,

I'm using a TD-W9980 with VDSL and it's working fine, but I would like to add another WAN connection as backup coming in Ethernet from another router which delivers IP adress in DHCP.

So I tried to add a second WAN interface, but I'm stuck in choosing ADSL or VDSL, but can't choose only Ethernet.

Any idea on how to setup the second/backup WAN in ethernet ?

Thank you
Regards

I don't think you can use the DSL port and WAN port at the same time...based on my experience, it can be either used as a DSL modem router or a wireless router only, but not at the same time...

Hi, Thank you for your answer, OK then I'll have to switch manually from one to another in case of failure on my VDSL WAN.
Any idea about how to setup the first port as a WAN port ? Actually this port seems to be acting like a LAN port.

Thank you
Regards.

The port can be wan only when it is working under ewan mode but under ewan mode. VDSL will not work. So I don't think the backup solution will work
