==Setting up second WAN interface==

To change LAN port purpose to WAN you will have to perform changes in 3 different locations of RUTxxx WebUI

===Creating additional VLAN===
----

Go to <strong>Network > VLAN</strong> section in device WebUI and perform following actions:
* Create new <strong>VLAN ID</strong> by clicking <strong>ADD</strong> button.
* On VLAN ID: 1 (LAN interface), select <strong>Off</strong> from drop-down list, on port that you want to use as secondary WAN.
* On newly created VLAN ID (3 in this example), from drop-down list, select <strong>Untagged</strong>, on same port.
* After performing these actions press <strong>Save & Apply</strong> in VLAN settings.

==Testing the configuration==

Your device should now have two wired WAN connections.

<ul>
    <li>Set the Wired (WAN) interface as the main WAN connection.</li>
    <li>Set the new interface as WAN [[RUT955_Failover|failover]] and save the changes.
    <li>Go to [www.whatsmyip.com] and check your public IP address.<br></li>
    <li>Then unplug the main WAN cable and check again. If the interface failed over correctly, the website should show a different IP address than before.<br></li>
    <li>Plug the main WAN cable back in and wait a bit. Refresh the website; the IP should have change back to the one shown in the first place.</li>
</ul>
