==CLI/SSH Router configuration==
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'.

Next, enter the login credentials:
<li>Login as: '''root'''</li>
<li>Password: routers admin password (by default admin01)</li>
login as: <b>root</b>

<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:
===Using DHCP===
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.
===DHCP===

Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, navigate and find '''config interface 'lan_wan'''' erase the current configuration and write these options:
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'

option metric '10'
===Using Static IP===

Using arrows navigate and find '''config interface 'lan_wan'''' leave the current configuration and add these four options:
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'

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:
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>
/etc/init.d/network restart
[[File:Networking_rutxxx_configuration_examples_use_lan_as_wan_6_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]<br><br>
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>
