XR700 WAN yellow port to LAN?

Hello,

I just converted my 10G port into a WAN port using a 10G SFP+ RJ45 module. I get 1.2Gb from Xfinity so now I'm getting almost 1.3gb download speeds. My question is...now my yellow WAN port is.just empty and I was wondering if I could convert it into another LAN port for another device?

  • Hey!

     

    As far as I'm aware the WAN port on the XR700 is only able to function as a WAN port and can't be changed, though I will check with the team on this one!

    Might see if the XR supports Mirror WAN to LAN option under /debug.htm...

        If you go to routerlogin.net/debug.htm then that option is available, unlikely to provide the result you're looking for but let us know
