LAN Interfaces

Decide which network bridge each Ethernet port belongs to.

Overview

Titled LAN Interfaces in the stepper and LAN Interface Configuration on the screen, this sub-step does for cables what Wireless does for Wi-Fi: “Configure Ethernet interfaces and assign them to network bridges.” Each row is one physical port, and you pick which network it joins from Split, Domestic, Foreign or VPN.

It only appears in Advanced Mode. In Easy Mode the wizard does this itself, assigning every unoccupied Ethernet port to a single network, picking the first available of Split, VPN, Domestic and Foreign in that order.

Ports already spoken for by a WAN link or a trunk to an access point are shown as Not Available, with a note saying what is using them.

Before you start

  • Know which device is on which port. Once the script is applied, moving a device between networks means moving its cable.
  • You cannot assign a port that an earlier step already claimed.

Steps

  1. Look down the Interface column for the port you want to assign.
  2. Pick its network in the Network column.
  3. Check the Status column shows the row as configured.
  4. Click Save Settings. Reset clears your assignments and starts over.

Reference

Column What it shows
Interface The physical port name on the router
Network The network bridge the port will be assigned to
Status Available, Configured, or Not Available with the reason

Troubleshooting

A port shows “Not Available — Used by …”. Something earlier in the wizard claimed it: a WAN link on the WAN step, or a trunk on Router + Access Point Interface. Change that assignment if you need the port here.

“No interfaces available.” Every Ethernet port on the router is already in use.
