							Change the Physical WAN Connection Preference
The modem router can autodetect the type of WAN connection. However, you can also set the WAN connection
pref
erence manually to either the DSL port or the Ethernet WAN port. The 
modem router does not support load balancing over DSL and Ethernet WAN interfaces.
Only 
one WAN interface (either the DLS port or the Ethernet WAN port) can be active at any
time.
Note
To change the WAN connection preference: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter 
http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the 
modem router user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
The 

WAN Setup page displays.
5. From the 
WAN Preference menu, select one of the following options:
• Auto-Detect
. The modem router automatically detects whether the WAN connection is DSL over the DLS
port or Ethernet over the Internet port. Auto-Detect is the default setting.
• Must use DSL 

WAN. The modem router
 uses the DSL port for a DSL WAN connection. The Internet port is
shut down.
• Must use Ethernet WAN. The modem router
 uses the Internet port for an Ethernet WAN connection. The
DSL port is shut down.
6. Click the Apply button.

Enable and Configure a VLAN A network of computers and devices can behave as if they were connected to the same network even though they
might actually be physically on different segments of a LAN. Virtual LANs (VLANs) are configured through software
rather than hardware, which makes them very flexible.
If you enable a VLAN and if the network devices (hubs and switches) on your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q)
standard, the VLAN ID is associated with all traffic coming from the modem router. Manage the WAN and LAN Network Settings

							If you are subscribed to IPTV service, the modem router might require VLAN tags to distinguish between the Internet
traffic and the IPTV traffic.
For information about enabling and configuring the virtual IPTV interface, see one of the following sections:
•
Manually Set Up an ADSL Internet Connection on page 49
• Manually Set Up a VDSL Internet Connection on page 
60
• Manually Set Up a Cable or Fiber Internet Connection on page 
69 If your ISP provides directions for how to set up VLANs for IPTV and Internet service, follow
those directions.
Note
To enable and configure a VLAN for the virtual Internet interface and another VLAN for the virtual
IPTV interface: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter 
http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the 
modem router user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
