Disable LAN Ports
The information in this page is updated in accordance with 00.07.06.3 firmware version.
Disabling LAN ports can differ slightly across various devices. For some devices, certain ports cannot be disabled, while for others, they need to be disabled using Port-based VLAN, and some require configuration through Port settings.

Important note: if you disable all LAN ports on the router, you will lose access to the router via Ethernet. To regain access to the router you can:
- login to the router's wireless access point (AP) (provided that you assigned a wireless access point to the VLAN configuration)
- login remotely via RMS
- login remotely via the router's public IP address (provided remote access was configured prior to VLAN)
- login remotely via VPN (provided the VPN was configured prior to VLAN)
- reset the router's configuration to its default state
