Reason I ask is if that "broadband connection" happens to be a gateway with its own integrated router solution, you could use that as the router. Then run the r7300 in access point mode and wire through the wan port.
Your other option is if you go to its ip address and add debug.htm to the end, some of the older firmwares had a "mirror wan port to lan port 1" option.
so it'd be 192.168.1.1/debug.htm
(replace the ip address with what yours is)
You could always try that option as well.
