Orbi NBK752: Unable to use WAN port as LAN in mobile only mode
I just got the NBK752 kit today, and I have set it up for mobile only connection. Everything works, except the WAN/LAN port refuses to behave as a LAN port. I did double check that the "Only LTE" mod...
I wasn't aware it could be used as a lan port. Maybe I'm wrong but usually with these it acts as a lan port if ran in AP mode where your LTE wouldn't work.
Hmm, I got this info from this review

> Alternatively, the 'LTE-Only' mode relies purely on mobile broadband and lets the WAN port act as an additional LAN port for wired connections.
But it's true I can't find any mention of this in the user manual.
I'll try if I can do something on the root console, I've enabled SSH access to the router.

Is there any WAN port configuration seen on the NBRs web page under Advanced Tab/Setup/Internet or WAN setup menu options?
I see the spec sheet says the WAN port could be used as a 'Failover' port.
That was my understanding as well that it could be used for failover or if it was setup in AP mode option.
