Creating additional VLAN
Go to Network > VLAN section in device WebUI and perform following actions:
- Create new VLAN ID by clicking ADD button.
- On VLAN ID: 1 (LAN interface), select Off from drop-down list, on port that you want to use as secondary WAN.

- Choose DHCP Protocol from drop-down list.
- Press on Switch Protocol.
After switching protocol More setting options will appear.

Go to Network > Firewall > General Settings WebUI section. Click on Edit button on WAN zone.
In WAN zone settings
- Make sure that yours newly created interface is selected in Covered networks list.
