Configuring a wired internet connection

The router can connect to the internet using a wired connection to a Wide Area Network (WAN), such as a broadband satellite internet system or a hard-wired marina internet connection.

Note

When the WAN connection is enabled, it becomes the primary connection to the internet. If you wish to use Cellular or Wi-Fi connections instead, disable the WAN connection by removing the tick from the Wired internet connection tick box located on the Wired internet connection page in BASIC SETTINGS.

  1. Ensure that the WAN device is powered off or disconnected from the router before configuring the wired internet connection.
  2. Open the router’s WAN set-up page: ADVANCED SETTINGS > WAN set-up.
  3. Select the Use Ethernet 4 as the router’s WAN port tick box and then select the Save button.

    A tick indicates that NET 4 is now a WAN port.

  4. Select the Wired internet connection tick box from the Wired internet connection page in BASIC SETTINGS and select the Save button.

    A tick indicates that the router will use the WAN port for its primary internet connection.

  5. Power up or connect the router to the WAN using the NET 4 RayNet network connection. For connection details, refer to: Wired internet connection
Note

If the router ever has to be reset the WAN hardware should be powered off until the router has been re-configured.
