− | For the next part you will be configuring router via SSH. For this you need to use the command line interface (CLI) or a SSH software if you’re using Windows or iOS. In this example software '''putty''' will be used. Open '''putty''' enter routers LAN IP address and press '''Open'''.<br><br>
| + | |
| + | 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. |
| + | |
| + | Open "PuTTY", enter the router's LAN IP address into the "Host Name (or IP Address)" field and click 'Open'. |

− | Now when you are connected you will need to make changes to network settings, this will be
| + | |
− | achieved via SSH command: '''vi''', which allows you to edit settings in the router. Enter following

− | command in SSH:<br>
| + | |
− | <li>'''vi /etc/config/network''' press latter '''i''' to be able to edit.</li> | + | 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: |
| + | |
| + | vi /etc/config/network |
| + | |
| + | 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. |
