The next step of the configuration will be done over SSH/CLI. For this example we'll be using "PuTTY" - a free SSH client that can run on Windows.
<li>Login as: '''root'''</li>
Open "PuTTY", enter the router's LAN IP address into the "Host Name (or IP Address)" field and click 'Open'.
<li>Password: routers admin password (by default admin01)</li>

Next, enter the login credentials:
login as: <b>root</b>
===Using DHCP===
[email protected]'s password: <b><admin_password></b>
Using arrows navigate and find '''config interface 'lan_wan'''' and add two options:
[[File:Networking_rutxxx_configuration_examples_use_lan_as_wan_9_v1.png]]
Next, we'll have to edit the <b><i>network</i></b> config file using the built-in "vi" text editor. To begin editing the <i>network</i> config file:
[[File:Lanaswan010.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]<br>
vi /etc/config/network
===Using Static IP===
Using arrows navigate and find '''config interface 'lan_wan'''' and add two options:
Then hit the "I" key on your keyboard to enable editing.
There are two distinct configurations described below. One is a [[#Static_IP|static IP]] configuration for setting the new WAN port manually, the other is [[#DHCP|DHCP]] - for automatic network configuration of the new WAN port. Follow only the instruction that suits your needs.
===DHCP===
[[File:LANASWAN006.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]<br>
----
Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, navigate and find <i>config interface 'lan_wan'</i> erase the current configuration and write these options:
option proto 'dhcp'
option ifname 'eth0.1'
option backup '1'
Scroll down, in '''Zone Forwarding''' find source zone '''lan_wan''' and change “Default forwarding action” from '''reject''' to '''accept''' and also check '''Masquerading''' and save settings.<br>
option metric '10'
[[File:008-2.jpg|border|class=tlt-border|800px]]<br>
[[File:Networking_rutxxx_configuration_examples_use_lan_as_wan_4_v1.png]]
===Static IP===
----
Using arrows navigate and find <i>config interface 'lan_wan'</i> leave the current configuration and add these four options:
option gateway '192.168.10.1'
option dns '8.8.8.8'
option backup '1'
option metric '10'
[[File:Networking_rutxxx_configuration_examples_use_lan_as_wan_5_v1.png]]
----
To exit the "vi" editor, press the "Esc" key, type in <i>:wq</i> and hit "Enter". While still on the command line, restart the <i>network</i> service on the router - this will apply the changes made to the configuration. Use this command:
/etc/init.d/network restart
Next go back to the WebUI and navigate to <i>Network → Firewall → <b>General Settings</b></i> page. Scroll down to the "Zone Forwarding" section to find source zone 'lan_wan' and change the following:
<ul>
<li><b>Default forwarding action</b>: accept</li>
<li><b>Masquerading</b>: on</li>
<li><b>Save</b> changes</li>
</ul>

<li>Set up your WAN as a main connection</li>
<li>Set up your configured LAN port as WAN failover backup.</li>
[[File:Networking_rutxxx_configuration_examples_use_lan_as_wan_7_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]<br>
<li>Go to '''www.whatsmyip.com''' and check your public IP.</li>
[[File:0011.png|border|class=tlt-border|960px]]
<li>After that, unplug the WAN cable and check again your Public IP. Your end device should have internet connection and a differt public IP</li>
[[File:0012.png|border|class=tlt-border|960px]]<br>
<li>So, plug again the WAN internet connection and wait a few seconds. The public IP should change again to the first IP shown.</li>
