Configuring the "WAN" port on the FRITZ!Box as a LAN port
By default, the "WAN" port on the FRITZ!Box is configured for connecting an external modem (for example a fiber optic or cable modem). If the WAN port is not used for the internet connection, for example when the FRITZ!Box is used as a DSL router or Mesh Repeater, you can also configure the WAN port as an additional LAN port and use it for the devices in the home network.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
Adjusting the WAN setting of the FRITZ!Box
- Open the FRITZ!Box user interface on a device that is not connected to the WAN port on the FRITZ!Box.
- Click "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Enable the option "LAN 5" in the section "WAN setting".
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
