It's very easy to do, since all the ports on that router are actually exactly the same. The only way a WAN port exists at all, is by the operating system pretending as such in software, hence any port can be set to any type. Pretty much all consumer TP-Links are configured in this way.

Thanks for that, I'll definitely keep that in mind if I decide to get a second line in.

Definitely two this year, and last year. As Dave says in his quote below, He had one in February 2013 (as did I), I am not sure why he didn't in October as everyone did as seen on the article you posted. I know I had one then. As for this year I had one in February and therefore downgraded my service from the old 60Mb (Now 100) to the new 50Mb (the old 30) to save about £10. Now its going up again :( Should have had one in October 2013 too. See http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php...rice-hike.html

I must have been lucky! Just rechecked my bills and certainly didn't have an increase in Oct 2013. I think if it had gone up that much last year I would have thrown the towel in and gone for PlusNet Fibre as I also have a BT phone line. Never went to NTL/VM landline phone because historically the service was dire in this area compared to BT.

I've already let him know for sure. Not sure what there is still to know..

Because you don't know everything? and because you can't possibly let him know about my experience until A. I've had it and B you are me

So leave it there.

Nobody said anything about your experience, <deleted>.

Nor do I need to know everything to know how the switch works on a router which I've written and compiled a switch driver and operating system for myself.

The NAT throughput is allegedly 350Mb/s however I reckon in real life it runs slower, and remember that Openreach VDSL uses PPPoE.

See the attachments, should put your mind at ease. Ports 1-4 can be WAN ports, 2-5 LAN, 5 is DMZ if so configured.

I'm just looking at it now as it just arrived. I am hoping it really is as plug and play as people say. I don't want anything fancy from it - just to do what it should

Re: Another price rise for stand alone customers?

This thread has gone down hill long enough. It seems it's long past people wanting to talk about the subject matter and instead simply want to trade spats.

Members know not to discuss reps, warnings, etc in public.

Posts will be deleted, along with yet more intervention.
